Hæng kalla mik hálfu nafni;
mun ek veita þér viðnám heðan.
Skaltu víst vita, áðr vit skiljum,
at búkörlum bíta örvar.
Kalla mik Hæng hálfu nafni; ek mun veita þér viðnám heðan. Skaltu víst vita, áðr vit skiljum, at örvar bíta búkörlum.
‘They call me Hœngr (‘Salmon’) as half [of my] name; I will offer you resistance from here. You shall certainly know, before we two part, that arrows bite farmers.’
