Anon (SnE) 15III/4 — reyk ‘smoke’

Eldr brennat sá sjaldan,
— svíðr dyggr jǫfurr byggðir —
— blása rǫnn fyr ræsi
reyk — es Magnús kveykvir.

Sá eldr, es Magnús kveykvir, brennat sjaldan; dyggr jǫfurr svíðr byggðir; rǫnn blása reyk fyr ræsi.

That fire, which Magnús kindles, does not burn seldom; the reliable prince torches settlements; buildings belch smoke before the ruler.
