text and translation
Hátt bar Hjalta dróttinn
hjalm at geira jalmi
— ógnstœrir rauð Írum
odd — í ferðar broddi.
Minn dróttinn naut máttar
mildr und brezkum skildi;
hendi Hlǫðvis frændi
hermenn ok tók brenna.
{Dróttinn Hjalta} bar hjalm hátt í broddi ferðar at {jalmi geira}; {ógnstœrir} rauð odd Írum. Mildr dróttinn minn naut máttar und brezkum skildi; {frændi Hlǫðvis} hendi hermenn ok tók brenna.
‘The lord of Shetlanders [= Þorfinnr] bore his helmet high in the vanguard of his troop in the tumult of spears [BATTLE]; the sweller of battle-dread [WARRIOR] reddened his point on Irishmen. My bounteous lord made use of his strength beneath a British shield; Hlǫðvir’s kinsman [= Þorfinnr] captured warriors and began burning.’
notes and context
Exactly as for st. 9, which st. 10 follows directly.
