Anon (FoGT) 35III/3 — gramr ‘the prince’

Píndr reis upp með anda
angrleystu herfangi;
hlýrna gramr til himna
heim sótti guð dróttin*.
Sendi ástaranda
alls hirðandi virðum;
sá kemr drótt að dæma
dauða lífs á hauðri.

Píndr reis upp með angrleystu herfangi anda; gramr hlýrna sótti guð dróttin* heim til himna. Hirðandi alls sendi virðum ástaranda; sá kemr að dæma drótt dauða á hauðri lífs.

Tortured, he rose up with the sorrow-liberated booty of souls; the prince of heavenly bodies [= God (= Christ)] came home to the Lord God in the heavens. The carer of everything [= God] sent the spirit of love to men; he will come to judge the host of the dead on the land of life.
