Sigurðr Grana sverði keyrði;
eldr sloknaði fyr öðlingi.
Logi allr lægðiz fyr lofgjörnum;
bliku reiði, er Reginn átti.
Sigurðr keyrði Grana sverði; eldr sloknaði fyr öðlingi. Allr logi lægðiz fyr lofgjörnum; reiði bliku, er Reginn átti.
‘Sigurðr drove Grani on with his sword; the fire was extinguished before the prince. All flame died down before the one eager for praise; the harness, which Reginn had owned, flashed. ’
This stanza follows immediately after Vǫls 2 without further introduction and is st. 23 in the complete Vǫls.
