ESk Lv 8III/7 — baugi ‘the ring’

Brattrs baldrekr Þjóttu;
berr vindr Raðar linda;
víðgyrðill þýtr Vǫrðu;
veltr Fenhringar belti.
Yglisk umbgerð Huglar;
olmrs grásili Stolmar;
fleygir Bóknar baugi;
brakar Lygru men nǫkkvat.

Brattrs baldrekr Þjóttu; vindr berr linda Raðar; víðgyrðill Vǫrðu þýtr; belti Fenhringar veltr. Umbgerð Huglar yglisk; olmrs grásili Stolmar; fleygir baugi Bóknar; men Lygru brakar nǫkkvat.

Steep is the baldric of Tjøtta <island> [SEA]; the wind lifts the band of Radøy <island> [SEA]; the wide girdle of Varða <island> [SEA] roars; the belt of Askøy <island> [SEA] rolls. The sheath of Huglo <island> [SEA] becomes fierce; grim is the grey harness-strap of Stolmen <island> [SEA]; the ring of Bokn <island> [SEA] is flung out; the necklace of Lygra <island> [SEA] thunders somewhat.
