text and translation
Brunnu benjeldar í blóðgum undum;
lutu langbarðar at lýða fjǫrvi.
Svarraði sárgymir á sverða nesi;
fell flóð fleina í fjǫru Storðar.
{Benjeldar} brunnu í blóðgum undum; langbarðar lutu at fjǫrvi lýða. {Sárgymir} svarraði á {nesi sverða}; {flóð fleina} fell í fjǫru Storðar.
‘Wound-fires [SWORDS] burned in bloody wounds; swords swung down on men’s lives. The wound-sea [BLOOD] roared on the headland of swords [SHIELD]; the flood of barbs [BLOOD] fell on the shore of Stord.’
