text and translation
Logit er mart at þér lítil of efni;
frækn með fyrðum var faðir þinn taliðr.
Stendr Angantýs ausinn moldu
salr í Sámsey sunnanverðri.
Mart er logit at þér of lítil efni; faðir þinn var taliðr frækn með fyrðum. Salr Angantýs, ausinn moldu, stendr í sunnanverðri Sámsey.
‘Greatly are you lied to, about little substance; your father was reckoned bold among warriors. Angantýr’s hall, sprinkled with soil, stands in the southern part of Samsø. ’
