Nemi drótt, hvé sæ sótti
snarlyndr konungr jarla;
eigi þraut við ægi
ofvægjan gram bægja.
Drótt nemi, hvé snarlyndr konungr jarla sótti sæ; eigi þraut ofvægjan gram bægja við ægi.
Let the retinue take in how the quick-mettled king among jarls made out to sea; there was no end to the over-powering lord striving against the ocean.
[4] ofvægjan: óvæginn R(38r), Tˣ(39v)
[4] ofvægjan ‘over-powering’: Lit. ‘out-weighing, over-powerful’. The variant óvæginn ‘unyielding’ would also give excellent sense.
