text and translation
‘At hundi elskar Andaðr ok heimsku drýgir
eyrnalausum ok jǫfur hlœgir.
Hinir eru ok aðrir, es of eld skulu
brennanda spôn bera;
logǫndum húfum hafa sér und linda drepit
hældræpir halir.’
‘Andaðr elskar at eyrnalausum hundi ok drýgir heimsku ok hlœgir jǫfur. Hinir eru ok aðrir, es skulu bera brennanda spôn of eld; hældræpir halir hafa drepit logǫndum húfum und linda sér.’
‘‘Andaðr fondles an earless dog, and he plays the fool and makes the king laugh. There are also others whose practice is to pass a burning wood-chip across a fire; those men who deserve kicking have tucked blazing caps under their belts.’’
