Nær gengr mér ok mínum,
menþǫll, hjúum ǫllum
(þverr við glaum) enn grœni
garðr, an oss of varði;
verðr (hróðr) skotat harðla
(hér tínik) þar mínum,
munat enn of staf stála
starflaust, fǫður arfi.

Fara sák holms und hjalmi
hauks í miklum auka,
Jǫrð, at Eyjafirði,
ísungs, funa dísi,
þá svát dóms í draumi
dals ótta mér þótti
felli-Guðr með fjǫllum
folkvandar bjǫð standa.

Menstiklir sá mikla,

vígmóðar framm blóði.

Rudda ek sem jarlar
(orð lék á því) forðum
(með veðrstǫfum Viðris

Várar skíðs, of síðir
breiða jǫrð með bǫrðum,
bendir, mér ór hendi.

Gríms í Gǫndlar flaumi
Gefnar mák of hefna.

Information about a text: poem, sequence of stanzas, or prose work

This page is used for different resources. For groups of stanzas such as poems, you will see the verse text and, where published, the translation of each stanza. These are also links to information about the individual stanzas.

For prose works you will see a list of the stanzas and fragments in that prose work, where relevant, providing links to the individual stanzas.

Where you have access to introduction(s) to the poem or prose work in the database, these will appear in the ‘introduction’ section.

The final section, ‘sources’ is a list of the manuscripts that contain the prose work, as well as manuscripts and prose works linked to stanzas and sections of a text.
