virðendr þrimu girðis,
Klyppr rauð brand í blóði
burs, Hildar, Gunnildar;
þá fell, hjálms, í hǫllu,
hlaut, Klyppr, bana af Gauti,
þar vá ek þolla fjóra
þremja lax með saxi.

falla þar til jarðar
ýta, Leifnis lautar
lind fagrvita, kindar;
áðr vildu þeir ǫldu
eitrþvengs bana veita
brands með benja vǫndum
brúðr mærar við kærust.
This text is from an old edition
fegring um vá ek, segja;
áðr vildi sá ǫldu
ósæma Gná ljósa;
því varð ek bráðr, at brúði
blakkrennir nam spenna
vágs, en vildi eigi
Vár unna bliks dáraz.

ormreits munu leita
frændr ok vilja vendi
vápndǫggvar mik hǫggva;
eigi veit, þó at ítra
egg reiði framm Skeggi
ríkr, hvárt ek renn frá leiki
reinar elds fyr einum.

unda logs á þessum fundi,
gegnum, skal þat Freyja fregna
flæðar báls, á þessum hálsi;
heldr ætla ek hjálmi faldinn
hrotta sǫng at fremja lǫngum,
eikikjóls þó at mér sæki
ýtar sex at vápna messu.

Vatsskarði sókn harða,
þar lét ek fjóra fjǫrvi
fleins sýnanda týna,
en Indriði unninn
ítr varð í byr rítar;
þeim gaf ek líf er Leifa
láðdýri kann stýra.

fimtán viðir mána,
lundar, Leifnis grundar
lungs báru en sjau sárir;
þar vá ek sex, en ek særða
sigrhnuggna þar duggu,
(Ǫzurr hét sá), ýta
elds brands þrumu landa.
This text is from an old edition
meiðendr bana seiða
veita vafðra brauta;
vann ek þeim skaða sannan;
senda ek sjau með skunda
sækjendr vápna lækjar
ells til ítrar hallar
Óðins með brynglóðu.
This text is from an old edition
(svellr móðr af því) þella
goldit gálga valdi
gullbaugs jǫru drauga;
grund, lét ek Ǫzur ǫndu
arms sýnar, þar týna,
lundr var hann lóns enn sjaundi
logs, pells, veginn, þella.
This text is from an old edition
þars þú eggjar mik, Skeggi,
at ek skunda út undir
eggfránan hjǫr seggja;
ef færa mik fjarðar
festendr þangat hesta
ýgs, er Ǫzur vágum
afrendr feginshendi.
This text is from an old edition
ríkr egg á mér Skeggi,
ef stýrir hug, sem ek heyri,
heldr þá er tekr at kvelda,
ok minniz svá manna,
morðeggjandi, tveggja
þeira, er, Þundar særir,
þér nána vá ek, mána.
