Anon (LaufE) 4III/1 — lofðungr ‘The lord’

Land verr lofðungr brǫndum
lauks máferils hauka;
hjálmklæðum gefr hilmir
hvítinga frið lítinn.

Lofðungr lauks verr land hauka brǫndum máferils; hilmir hvítinga gefr hjálmklæðum lítinn frið.

The lord of the leek [WOMAN] adorns the land of hawks [ARM] with fires of the seagull-track [SEA > GOLD]; the ruler of drinking-horns [WOMAN] gives little peace to helmet-clothes.
