Rauð siklingr sverð

prútt Parta lík —

Vann vísi allt
fyr vestan salt
— brandr gall við brún —
brennt Langatún.
Siklingr rauð sverð í Pílavík; {ferð gylðis} sleit prútt lík Parta. Vísi vann brennt allt Langatún fyr vestan salt; brandr gall við brún.
‘The prince reddened the sword in Pílavík; the company of the wolf [WOLVES] tore the splendid corpses of the Partar. The leader burned all Langatún west of the sea; the sword rang against the brow.’
As sts 5-8 above.
