text and translation
Fóru teitir tveggja vegna
brynþings boðar, þegar byrir fenguz.
Sigldum síðan Svíþjóðar til;
sóttum Yngva til Uppsala.
{Teitir boðar {brynþings}} fóru tveggja vegna, þegar fenguz byrir. Sigldum síðan til Svíþjóðar; sóttum Yngva til Uppsala.
‘The cheerful offerers of the mailcoat-assembly [BATTLE > WARRIORS] went on their two ways, once they got favourable winds. Then we sailed to Sweden; we visited Yngvi in Uppsala. ’
notes and context
This stanza continues to follow the narrative line of the prose texts, though there is a discrepancy between the mss in the name of the Swedish king, who is Ingjaldr in 7 (Ǫrv 1888, 69) and Hlǫðver in 344a (Ǫrv 1888, 68), while the poetic texts call him Yngvi (or Ingvi or Ingi). His name is also given as Yngvi in the Hb and R715ˣ prose texts of Heiðr.
