Hróksv Hrkv 5VIII (Hálf 55)/3 — hilmir ‘the prince’

Hálf sá ek höggva         höndum báðum;
hafði ekki hilmir         hlífskjöld fyrir sér.
Finnr engi maðr,         þóat fari víða,
hæfra hjarta         ok hugprúðara.

Ek sá Hálf höggva báðum höndum; hilmir hafði ekki hlífskjöld fyrir sér. Engi maðr finnr hæfra ok hugprúðara hjarta, þóat fari víða.

I saw Hálfr strike with both hands; the prince did not have a protecting shield before himself. No man will find a braver and nobler heart, though he travel widely.
