Eyv Hák 10I/1 — Gǫndul ‘Gǫndul’

Gǫndul þat mælti,         studdisk geirskapti:
        ‘Vex nú gengi goða,
es Hôkuni hafa         með her mikinn
        heim bǫnd of boðit.’

Gǫndul mælti þat, studdisk geirskapti: ‘Gengi goða vex nú, es bǫnd hafa of boðit Hôkuni heim með mikinn her.’

Gǫndul said that [this], leaned on a spear-shaft: ‘The gods’ force grows now, since the gods have invited Hákon home with a great army.’

notes

[1] Gǫndul mælti þat ‘Gǫndul said that [this]’: In contrast with Anon Eirm, which imitates eddic usage, and with st. 12 of this poem (see Note to st. 12 [All]), the identifications of speakers here and in sts 13/2, 14/2, 15/1, 16/6 and 17/2 are not extrametrical. See Noreen (1926, 179); Vogt (1930a, 199).
