heptendr laga eptir,
eggskeindar létk undir
óbíðingum svíða.

en tolf af Glað Gylfa
gunnþings hvatir runnu,
(kǫld ruðum vôpn) þeirs vildu
várs fundar til skunda.

Jalks mœrar skæ fœra.

gunnar ræfrs, at gæfim
griðbítum frið lítinn.

grjótvarps lotu snarpa,
gengu sverðs at sǫngvi

hœkings viðir œki.

sigr stalls viðir falla
(benskári drekkr báru

almþingssamir hjalma;
en á braut þeir bôru
beiðendr goðum leiðir
hlíða herðimeiðar
hauðrmens skarar rauðar.
