Sturl Hákkv 12II/7 — varat ‘was not’

Ok ófár
austr með landi
snekkju brandr
svífa knátti
gulli glæstr
und göfugmenni;
varat auðligr
allvalds floti.

Ok ófár brandr snekkju knátti svífa und göfugmenni austr með landi, glæstr gulli; floti allvalds varat auðligr.

And not a few prows of warships rocked beneath the nobleman east along the coast, adorned with gold; the fleet of the mighty ruler was not paltry.
