Hróksv Hrkv 18VIII (Hálf 68)/6 — herja ‘harrying’

Naut ekki svá         aldrs, sem skyldi,
frækn landreki         við frama dáðir.
Tólf vetra nam         tiggi at herja,
en þá var þengill         þrítugr, er dó.

Frækn landreki naut ekki aldrs svá, sem skyldi, við dáðir frama. Tiggi nam at herja tólf vetra, en þengill var þrítugr, þá er dó.

The valiant land-ruler did not enjoy as long a life as he should have done with deeds of fame. The prince started harrying at the age of twelve and the king was thirty when he died.
