— Freys leika tók ek heyja —
þar er einiga áttum
öld, í Rómaveldi.
Þar lét ek of grön grána
— gall örn of valfalli —
at mannskæðu morði
mitt sverð dregit verða. | Þat var fyrst, er fórum í Rómaveldi, þar er áttum einiga öld; ek tók heyja {leika Freys}. Þar lét ek sverð mitt verða dregit of grána grön at mannskæðu morði; örn gall of valfalli. The first thing was that we went into the realm of Rome, where we had no allies; I proceeded to conduct {the games of Freyr <god>} [BATTLES]. There I let my sword be drawn across a grey moustache in man-harming combat; an eagle screamed above fallen slain.
