{Folkrakkr þengill Þrœnda}, þú vændir gefa mér nakkvat, ef fengak stef at fundi {frænda Serks}. Inn fémildi hildingr, lézt, at Hôkon héti mǫrstrútr; nú samir mér at minnask gǫrva á þat.
‘Battle-brave lord of the Þrœndir [NORWEGIAN KING = Sigurðr], you promised to give me something if I could produce a stanza at the meeting with Serkr’s kinsman [= Hákon]. Generous monarch, you said that Hákon was called mǫrstrútr (‘Lump of Lard’); now it’s only fitting for me to recall that perfectly.’
notes and context
King Sigurðr’s retainer, Árni fjǫruskeifr ‘Shore-skewed’, tricks Þórarinn into believing that the king wishes him to compose a st. about another retainer, Hákon mǫrstrútr ‘Lump of Lard’ Serksson, and to mention Hákon’s name in the st.
