Þloft Glækv 5I/2 — liggr ‘lies’

Þar svá hreinn
með heilu liggr
lofsæll gramr
líki sínu,
svát þar kná
sem á kvikum manni
hár ok negl
hônum vaxa.

Lofsæll gramr liggr þar svá hreinn með heilu líki sínu, svát þar hár ok negl kná vaxa hônum, sem á kvikum manni.

The praise-blessed prince lies there so pure, with his body incorrupt, that there hair and nails grow on him, as on a living man.
