Bragi Þórr 4III/2 — ljóti ‘ugly’

Ok borðróins barða
brautar hringr inn ljóti
á haussprengi Hrungnis
harðgeðr neðan starði.

Ok inn ljóti hringr brautar borðróins barða starði neðan harðgeðr á haussprengi Hrungnis.

And the ugly ring of the road of the side-rowed ship [SEA > = Miðgarðsormr] glared from below, defiant, at the skull-splitter of Hrungnir <giant> [= Þórr].
