Sturl Hrafn 16II/1 — böð ‘the battle’

Blés of böðfúsa
bragna fjölmagnat
hregg á herbygðum
hríðar brimskíðum.
Upp rak alkeppna
öld með herskjöldu
grundar gjálfrs undit
grand at Skotlandi.

Fjölmagnat hregg blés of böðfúsa bragna á herbygðum brimskíðum hríðar. Undit grand grundar gjálfrs rak alkeppna öld með herskjöldu upp at Skotlandi.

The sorcery-strengthened hailstorm blew around the battle-eager men on the troop-inhabited surf-skis of the sea [SHIPS]. The twisted harm of the land of the surge [SEA > STORM] drove the very vigorous crew with war-shields towards [the shores of] Scotland.
