berr blóðugt bak, en bergr firum,
geirum mætir, gefr líf sumum,
leggr við lófa lík sitt guma?
Heiðrekr konungr, hyggðu at gátu. | Hvat er þat dýra, er hlífir Dönum, berr blóðugt bak, en bergr firum, mætir geirum, gefr sumum líf, leggr lík sitt við lófa guma? Heiðrekr konungr, hyggðu at gátu. What is that creature, that protects Danes, bears a bloody back, but saves men, meets spears, gives life to some, lays its body against the palm of a man? King Heiðrekr, think about the riddle.
