Ungr tókt, jöfra þengill

Ok, sókngæðir, síðan,
snjallmæltr, hlutuð allrar

{Ægr þengill jöfra}, tókt ungr konungsnafn á þik með frægri vígslu; kapp þitt kynniz jafnan mönnum. Ok, {snjallmæltr sókngæðir}, hlutuð síðan framkomit vald allrar aldar; hér lýsik veg vísa.
‘Terrifying lord of princes [KING], as a young man you accepted the title of king with a splendid consecration; your courage will always be made known to men. And, wise-spoken battle-increaser [WARRIOR], later you received the supreme power over all people; here I proclaim the glory of the prince.’
notes and context
Magnús’s coronation in Kristkirken, Bergen, on 14 September 1261.
