lætr jafnan vel gæta,
sén var í hjarta hónum
hrein, akkeris-fleina;
engr fær talt með tungu,
tíðast þó at lof smíði,
verk þau er dátt munu dýrka
dygða-mann enn sanna.
This text is from an old edition
sær gekk fjǫllum hæri
(áðr þvarr ǫld fyr prúðri
austr) at þeira flausti;
sundr brast há fyr hendi,
(hnoss er í slíkum krossi,
ván er at hlýði hónum)
hrǫnn sú er ægði mǫnnum.

valdr heimsalar tjalda,
enn at aukiz minni
ǫld, at starfa gjǫldum,
sá er lastauðgan leysti
lýð, en djǫflar flýðu,
áðr var í eymd ok nauðum
allr heimr ok kyn beima.
