text and translation
Gengu danskir drengir
(dynr varð gǫrr) með brynjur
útanborðs til jarðar
(úrigs malms) ok hjalma.
Sukku sárir rekkar
sunnan hafs til grunna;
hár varp hausum þeira
hranngarðr á þrǫm jarðar.
Danskir drengir gengu útanborðs til jarðar með brynjur ok hjalma; {dynr úrigs malms} varð gǫrr. Sárir rekkar sukku til grunna sunnan hafs; {hár hranngarðr} varp hausum þeira á þrǫm jarðar.
‘Danish warriors went overboard [and sank] to the bottom with byrnies and helmets; the din of wet metal [BATTLE] was over. Wounded champions sank to the shallows south of the sea; the high wave-enclosure [SEA] threw their skulls onto the edge of the earth.’
