Viltu þenna þiggja,
er Þóra hjörtr átti,
serk við silfr um merktan?
Sama allvel þér klæði.
Fóru hendr hvítar
hennar um þessar görvar;
sú var buðlungi bragna
blíðum þekk til dauða.

Are you willing to accept this shift, decked out with silver, which Þóra hjǫrtr (‘Hart’) possessed? [Such] garments suit you very well. Her white hands stroked these trappings; she was dear {to the joyful prince of men} [KING = Ragnarr] right up to her death.

context: In an attempt to persuade Kráka-Áslaug to come away with him, Ragnarr offers her a richly embroidered shift which had belonged to his deceased wife Þóra.

notes: It has not proved possible to recover meaningful traces of this or the next stanza from 147 in its present state of preservation. Nevertheless, it is likely that these two stanzas were present there on fol. 106v.
