Sturl Hákkv 35II/4 — flota ‘the fleet’

Var leiðangr,
sem logi væri,
gulli glæstr,
of grams flota,
þar er baugtungl
blíkja knáttu
yfir háreið
hvert við annat.

Leiðangr, glæstr gulli, var, sem logi væri of flota grams, þar er baugtungl knáttu blíkja hvert við annat yfir háreið.

The naval force, adorned with gold, was as if there were a flame above the fleet of the ruler where the shield-boss moons [SHIELDS] each shone against the other above the oarlock.
