‘Heimsku mæla * skalat inn horski Bragi,
þó at þú vel hvat vitir:
fyr Eireki glymr, es hér mun inn koma
jǫfurr í Óðins sali.
‘Inn horski Bragi skalat mæla * heimsku, þó at þú vitir vel hvat: glymr fyr Eireki, es mun koma hér inn, jǫfurr í sali Óðins.
‘‘The wise Bragi must not talk nonsense, though you know well why: the clangour is made for Eiríkr, who must be coming in here, a prince into Óðinn’s residence.’
As for st. 1 (Fsk).
