Humli Lv 1VIII (Heiðr 100)/3 — drekka ‘drink’

Sitja skulum vér í vetr         ok sælliga lifa,
drekka ok dæma         dýrar veigar,
kenna Húnum         vápn at búa,
þau er djarfliga         skulum fram bera.

Vér skulum sitja í vetr ok lifa sælliga, drekka dýrar veigar ok dæma, kenna Húnum at búa vápn, þau er skulum bera fram djarfliga.

We shall sit during winter and live prosperously, drink costly draughts and make conversation, teach the Huns to prepare the weapons that we shall carry forth boldly.
