Hálfr, dreymði mik, hvatti, at ek berðumz,
ok kvez mér frækn konungr fylgja skyldu,
— hefir mér gramr verit góðr í draumi —
hvar sem vér orrostu eiga skyldum.
Dreymði mik, Hálfr hvatti, at ek berðumz, ok frækn konungr kvez mér fylgja skyldu, hvar sem vér skyldum eiga orrostu; gramr hefir verit mér góðr í draumi.
I dreamed Hálfr urged that I should fight, and the valiant king said that he would follow me, wherever we [I] should have a battle; the prince has been good to me in my dream.
Mss: 2845(37v) (Hálf)
Readings: [1] dreymði: ‘dreym’ with ‘di’ added by another hand in the margin to the left of the following line 2845 [7] hvar sem: hvar 2845
