Ramsvell ræfrs Róða þverr eigi fyr regni augna beðvinu Óðs; eignisk sá konungr elli.
The strong ice-sheet of Róði’s <sea-king’s> roof [SHIELD > AXE/SWORD] does not diminish because of the rain of the eyes [TEARS] of Óðr’s <mythical person’s> bedmate [= Freyja > GOLD]; may that king reach old age.
[1-2, 3] regni augna beðvinu Óðs ‘the rain of the eyes [TEARS] of Óðr’s <mythical person’s> bedmate [= Freyja > GOLD]’: According to Old Norse myth, Óðr was Freyja’s husband. For Freyja weeping tears of gold, see Note to st. 1/1, 4 above.
