text and translation
Sé ek eigi þann í mínu liði,
þótt ek biða ok baugum kaupa,
er muni ríða ok rönd bera
ok þeirra Húna herlið finna.
Ek sé eigi þann í liði mínu, er muni ríða ok bera rönd ok finna herlið þeirra Húna, þótt ek biða ok kaupa baugum.
‘I do not see that one in my troop who would ride and bear a shield, and meet the war-troop of the Huns, though I should beg and bargain with rings. ’
notes and context
The stanza follows directly on from the previous one.
[3, 4]: The two verbs in these lines, biða and kaupa, appear in the mss as biði and kaupi, with C14th endings of the 1st pers. pres. subj. of, respectively, biðja ‘beg, request’ and kaupa ‘bargain, buy’. These have been normalized to forms suitable to the period 1250-1300 in accordance with the procedures of the rest of this volume. — [7-8]: Skj B and Skald emend to ok þeim Húnum | herboð inna ‘and perform the war-summons to the Huns’. This seems to be partly based on Verelius’ emendation of R715ˣ’s problematic reading, Oc þeim Hunum | Herbod bioda (Heiðr 1672) ‘and offer the war-summons to the Huns’, but both mss have herlið ‘war-troop’ and 203ˣ’s reading gives good sense as it stands.
