Ríðr at vilgi víðu
víðfrægr, en mér líða,
Hroptatýr, of hvápta
hróðrmôl, sonar báli.
Víðfrægr Hroptatýr ríðr at vilgi víðu báli sonar, en hróðrmôl líða of hvápta mér.
‘The widely renowned Hroptatýr <= Óðinn> rides to the immensely large pyre of his son, and praise-speeches flow through my mouth. ’
This helmingr is cited in Skm (SnE) and LaufE as an example of how to refer to Óðinn in poetry.
