Hás ræðr heimi þessum |
The prince of the high storm-house [SKY/HEAVEN > = God] rules this world as well as the heavens; God, agile of grace, makes it possible for men to achieve a good life. Angels and people bow down fearlessly before the glorious Lord; the king of the seat of the sun [SKY/HEAVEN > = God] is alone better than everything else.
[5-8]: First repetition of the first stef, indicated by an obelos in the left-hand margin of fol. 10v.
