text and translation

The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):

Ólafur konungur hafði þá hirðsiðu að hann lét standa fyrir
borði sínu skutilsveina og skenkja sér með borðkerum og svo
öllum tignum mönnum þeim er að hans borði sátu. Hann hafði og
kertisveina þá er kertum héldu fyrir borði hans og jafnmörgum
sem tignir menn sátu upp. Þar var og stallarastóll utar frá
trapisu er stallarar sátu á og aðrir gæðingar og horfðu innar
í mót hásæti. Haraldur konungur og aðrir konungar fyrir honum
voru vanir að drekka af dýrahornum og bera öl úr öndugi um
eld og drekka minni á þann er honum sýndist.

Svo segir Stúfur skáld:

Vissi eg hildar hvessi,

hann var nýstr að kanna,

af góðum byr Gríðar

gagnsælan mér fagna,

þá er blóðstara bræðir,

baugum grimmr, að Haugi

gjarn með gylltu horni

gekk sjálfr á mig drekka.
