Biðk ungr algildan allvald aldar Yngva halda of mér bifvangi ýs; Hroptr fór með Gungni.

Being a young man I ask the excellent mighty ruler of the people of Yngvi <legendary king> [YNGLING = Haraldr gráfeldr?] to hold his quivering field of the bow [HAND] over me; Hroptr <= Óðinn> advanced with Gungnir <spear>.
