Geisli stendr til grundar
Gunnar jarðar munna;
ofan fellr blóð á báðar
benskeiðr, en gramr reiðisk.
Hristisk hjǫrr í brjósti
hringi grœnna lyngva,
en folkþorinn fylkir

Geisli jarðar Gunnar stendr til grundar munna; blóð fellr ofan á báðar benskeiðr, en gramr reiðisk. Hjǫrr hristisk í brjósti hringi grœnna lyngva, en folkþorinn fylkir ferr at leika við steik.
The sunbeam of the land of Gunnr <valkyrie> [SHIELD > SWORD] stabs into the ground of jaws [HEAD]; blood flows down onto both wound-ships [SWORDS], and the prince grows angry. The sword quivers in the breast of the ring of green heathers [SERPENT], and the battle-daring leader proceeds to amuse himself with roasting.
