Hjoggusk hvárirtveggja
heggir mækis eggja;
varð í gǫgn at ganga
geirdrótt Haraldr þeiri.
{Hvárirtveggja heggir eggja mækis} hjoggusk; Haraldr varð at ganga í gǫgn þeiri geirdrótt.
‘Each of the two groups of cherry-trees of the sword’s blades [WARRIORS] struck the other; Haraldr had to advance against that spear-troop. ’
In Fsk, these lines and st. 11/5-8 form a stanza, which is cited after the narration of the death of Haraldr in battle.
