text and translation
Mǫnnum lízk, es mildingr rennir
Meita hlíðir sævar skíði,
unnir jafnt sem ósamt renni
engla fylki himna þengils.
Mǫnnum lízk, es mildingr rennir {skíði sævar} {hlíðir Meita}, jafnt sem fylki engla {þengils himna} renni unnir ósamt.
‘It seems to men, as the ruler makes the ski of the ocean [SHIP] skim the slopes of Meiti <sea-king> [SEA], just as though the host of angels of the skies’ prince [= God] were skimming the waves with him.’
notes and context
As for sts 3, 16 and 17.
[3]: The l. contains triple (vocalic) alliteration rather than the expected double, but there is no other reason to suspect textual corruption.
