text and translation
Mǫrk lét veitt fyr verka
vekjandi mér snekkju
(hann lætr hylli sinnar)
hjaldrs (tilgørðir valda).
{Vekjandi hjaldrs snekkju} lét mér veitt mǫrk fyr verka; hann lætr tilgørðir valda hylli sinnar.
‘The rouser of the warship’s battle [WARRIOR] had me presented with a mark for my poetry; he lets deserving actions determine his favour.’

The st. is quoted in the same context as st. 24 above. Haraldr’s greed for power and prosperity, as well as his generosity to friends, is remembered.
