hraustir menn heim at sœkja;
eigi síðr ǫðling fylgðu
gamlir menn ok gerðusk kærir.
af gǫmlum mǫnnum, sás goll miðlaði.
Vas ástúðigr ǫllu folki
Upplanda gramr af ǫrleik sínum.
hilmir hróðigr ok hringa marga,
brynjur bjartar ok branda hvassa,
skjǫldu skyggða ok skrautbúna.
hersa drótt ok hǫfðingjum.
Flýði hverr, sem fara mátti,
hraustra víkinga ór Hafrsfirði.
es í fylkis l... ...kar óxu.
Ávallt vas kallaðr með konungs nafni
Haraldr hárfagri hilmir síðan.
