text and translation
Kveðkat ek þik, mær ung, mönnum líka,
er þú um hauga hvarfar á nóttum
gröfnum geiri ok með Gota málmi,
hjálmi ok með brynju, fyrir hallar dyrr.
Ek kveðkat þik, ung mær, líka mönnum, er þú hvarfar um hauga á nóttum gröfnum geiri ok með málmi Gota, hjálmi ok með brynju, fyrir dyrr hallar.
‘I would not declare you, young girl, [to be] like humans, when you wander around the mounds at night, with engraved spear and with the metal of the Goths, with helmet and with mail-shirt, before the doors of the hall. ’
notes and context
[5-7]: The content of these lines is similar to Heiðr 26/5-8, although there is no direct verbal echo.
