Giekk hjörviður Hlakkar
hríðar djarfr með karfa

hendi alt að hjöltum
handsax og benlaxa

{Hjörviður}, djarfr {hríðar Hlakkar}, giekk með karfa ... hendi alt að hjöltum, handsax og {benlaxa}, en þrjú * á lofti; öld lofar oft mildan öðling.
‘The sword-tree [WARRIOR], valiant in the storm of Hlǫkk <valkyrie> [BATTLE], went along the ship ... caught everything by the hilt, short-sword and wound-salmon [SWORDS], though three [were] aloft; people often praise the generous prince.’
