text and translation
Hvarf inn hugprúði Hörðr ór för minni,
greitt ertu líkr honum; gái ek ei því drekka.
Inn hugprúði Hörðr hvarf ór för minni, ertu greitt líkr honum; því gái ek ei drekka.
‘The courageous Hǫrðr disappeared from my expedition, you are very much like him; thus I take care not to drink. ’
notes and context
Hjálmþér responds to Hǫrðr, now King Hringr, explaining his disconcerted confusion over the latter’s royal transformation. The helmingr is introduced: Hjálmþér tók undir ok kvað hálfa vísunna ‘Hjálmþér responded and spoke a half-stanza’.
Compare Hjálmþérsrímur IX, 67-9 (Finnur Jónsson 1905-22, II, 64-5) with HjǪ 42a and b.
