Var leiðangr,
sem logi væri,
gulli glæstr,
of grams flota,
þar er baugtungl
blíkja knáttu
yfir háreið
hvert við annat.
Leiðangr, glæstr gulli, var, sem logi væri of flota grams, þar er {baugtungl} knáttu blíkja hvert við annat yfir háreið.
The naval force, adorned with gold, was as if there were a flame above the fleet of the ruler where {the shield-boss moons} [SHIELDS] each shone against the other above the oarlock.

Context: As st. 34 above.
Notes: [1] leiðangr ‘the naval force’: Lit. ‘conscripted fleet of warships’. See Note to Bǫlv Hardr 8/1. — [5] baugtungl ‘the shield-boss moons [SHIELDS]’: Skj B adopts the E variant böðtungl ‘battle-moons’ (i.e. ‘shields’). Whereas that reading is possible, it is not supported by the other ms. witnesses. — [7] háreið ‘the oarlock’: Lit. ‘where the oar rides, balances’. See Falk 1912, 71.
