rítorms sakar víti,

mundhyrs rekask undan
(dyggr's sás drýgja mun eggja

blóðorm of kné góðan
hræva gífrs með hreifum
heggr ok bítr á skeggi.

hlymbrand jǫru randar,
meðan óvinir órir
oss leiða matreiður,
eigum bernskligir báðir
ból, þats lítt nýtr sólar,
oss hlœgir þat eigi,
út of hellisskúta.

hefr drengr skaða fengit
sér * á sléttri eyri,
svarri, báts ok knarrar.
Enn, þeims upp réð brenna
ǫldu fíl fyr skaldi,
hverr veit, nema kol knarrar
kǫld fýsi mik gjalda?
— hvat varð af Þorgarði? —
villumaðr á velli
vígdjarfr refilstíga.
Farit hefr Gautr at grjóti
gunnelds inn fjǫlkunni;
síðan mun hann í helju
hvílask stund ok mílu.
