aldrtjón Ellu, eggdauða menn,
ben bíldskorna, buðlung Dana,
þjónustumey, þunga báru.
skorinn línskauta ok skip Þráins,
járn ór afli, útleidda sál,
konu kjötnefnda fyr kvið neðan.
silki saumat ok sænska menn,
Gunnlaugs bana ok goða brenni,
kú kollótta ok kvíslatré,
gnúp gildligan; gettu, hvat þeir heita!
