Kari Ellen Gade (ed.) 2017, ‘Rǫgnvaldr jarl and Hallr Þórarinsson, Háttalykill 36’ in Kari Ellen Gade and Edith Marold (eds), Poetry from Treatises on Poetics. Skaldic Poetry of the Scandinavian Middle Ages 3. Turnhout: Brepols, p. 1044.
Gaf landreki lofðum
linnból inn margsvinni;
sigrstýrir nam særa
sefþvengjar hrynvengi.
Frægr vísi réð fleygja
fjallreyðar glóstalli;
morðkennir gaf mǫnnum
móinsæti ágæta.
Inn margsvinni landreki gaf lofðum {linnból}; {sigrstýrir} nam særa {hrynvengi {sefþvengjar}}. Frægr vísi réð fleygja {glóstalli {fjallreyðar}}; {morðkennir} gaf mǫnnum {ágæta móinsæti}.
‘The very wise land-ruler gave snake-lair [GOLD] to warriors; the victory-controller [WARRIOR] began to injure the resounding meadow of the rush-thong [SERPENT > GOLD]. The renowned ruler flung the glowing resting place of the mountain-char [SERPENT > GOLD]; the battle-master [WARRIOR] gave the splendid serpent-seat [GOLD] to men. ’
As st. 35 above.
[7]: The line recalls Arn Þorfdr 11/5II.
