Eigi þverr fyr augna

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.
[3] sá regni: so all others, ‘sva rengni’ R(28r)
[3, 4] sá konungr ‘that king’: The identity of Einarr’s benefactor cannot be established, but he was likely a king of Norway. Einarr composed poetry in honour of many Norwegian kings during the years c. 1120-60 (see his Biography in SkP II).
