Glez Hreggviðr, þá er Hrólfr fær
ungrar meyjar Ingigerðar.
Mun Hólmgarði hilmir stýra,
Sturlaugs sonr; standi kvæði.
Hreggviðr glez, þá er Hrólfr fær ungrar meyjar Ingigerðar. Hilmir, sonr Sturlaugs, mun stýra Hólmgarði; standi kvæði.
Hreggviðr will rejoice when Hrólfr marries the young maiden Ingigerðr. The prince, son of Sturlaugr, will govern Novgorod; let the poem cease.
Mss: 589f(31v), 152(111rb), 567XI α(1v) (GHr)
Readings: [2] þá er: þá at 567XI α, þá at 567XI α [3] ungrar meyjar: om. 567XI α [5] Mun: so 152, ‘m[…]’ 589f, mun þá 567XI α [7] Sturlaugs: ‘Stulaugs’ 589f, ‘Sturlugs’ 152, stýra mun 567XI α; sonr: vegr hans 567XI α [8] standi kvæði: um lengi standa 567XI α
Editions: Skj AII, 333, Skj BII, 353, Skald II, 190; FSN 3, 334, FSGJ 3, 253-4 (GHr).
Notes: [2] þá er ‘when’: The particle er has been restored as a routine normalisation to 1250-1300 usage from 589f’s þá, which shows C14th loss of er after þá (NS §261). This has also been added by Skj B and Skald. Line 2 requires the desyllabification of Hrólfr to Hrólfur to be metrically correct. — [4] Ingigerðar ‘Ingigerðr’: The name of King Hreggviðr’s daughter, who is rescued by Hrólfr from the machinations of the evil viking Eiríkr. — [7-8]: Ms. 567XI α has a different text of these lines, vegr hans mun um lengi standa ‘his reputation will last for a long time’. A variant version of this clause is also found in 587cˣ. — [7] sonr ‘son’: Requires desyllabification to sonur to be metrically correct.
