Hér þykki ek nú í Hakaveldi
hornungr vera hverrar þjóðar.
Allir eigu innar at sitja
hálfargir menn en Hálfsrekkar.
Ek þykki nú vera hornungr hverrar þjóðar hér í Hakaveldi. Allir hálfargir menn eigu at sitja innar en Hálfsrekkar.
‘I now seem to be an outcast amongst all people here in Haki’s realm. All half-cowardly men are entitled to sit futher inwards than Hálfr’s champions. ’
