ESk Frag 5III/3 — ylgr ‘she-wolf’

Leyg rýðr ætt á ægi
Óláfs skipa sólar
(ylgr brunar hvatt) ins helga
(hrægjǫrn í spor ǫrnum).

Ætt ins helga Óláfs rýðr leyg sólar skipa á ægi; hrægjǫrn ylgr brunar hvatt í spor ǫrnum.

The kinsman of the holy Óláfr [NORWEGIAN KING] reddens the flame of the ships’ sun [SHIELD > SWORD] at sea; the corpse-eager she-wolf rushes fast in the track of eagles.
