Bragi Rdr 10III/8 — hringa ‘the rings’

Letrat lýða stillir
landa vanr á sandi
— þá svall heipt í Hǫgna —
hǫðglamma mun stǫðva,
es þrymregin þremja
þróttig Heðin* sóttu,
heldr an Hildar svíra
hringa þeir of fingi.

Stillir lýða, vanr landa, letrat stǫðva mun hǫðglamma á sandi – þá svall heipt í Hǫgna –, es þróttig þremja þrymregin sóttu Heðin*, heldr an þeir of fingi hringa svíra Hildar.

The controller of men [RULER], lacking lands, does not hold back from stopping the desire of battle-wolves [WARRIORS] on the sand – then hatred swelled in Hǫgni –, when the enduring gods of the noise of sword-edges [(lit. ‘noise-gods of sword-edges’) BATTLE > WARRIORS] attacked Heðinn, rather than accept the rings of the neck of Hildr.
