text and translation
Rekka bjóz fúss flokkr
fara, sá er boðið var,
til brullaups brynsvells
beiðis og kom á leið.
Enn kunni hann saung sinn,
(seima) á degi þeim
tíða var ei greitt gáð
(gætir hafði dvalið mætr).
Fúss flokkr rekka, sá er var boðið, bjóz fara til brullaups {beiðis {brynsvells}} og kom á leið. Hann kunni enn saung sinn á þeim degi; {mætr gætir seima} hafði dvalið; tíða var ei greitt gáð.
