Hróksv Hrkv 25VIII (Hálf 75)/1 — Ván ‘expect’

Ván væri mér         vitra manna,
snarpra seggja,         ef vér saman ættum,
því at ek fann ekki mey         margsvinnari
hvergi landa         en Haka dóttur.

Væri mér ván vitra manna, snarpra seggja, ef vér ættum saman, því at ek fann ekki margsvinnari mey hvergi landa en dóttur Haka.

I would expect wise people, smart men, if we had offspring together, for I did not find a more intelligent girl in any country than the daughter of Haki [= Brynhildr].
