Ásb Ævkv 5VIII (OStór 8)/1 — Annat ‘It used to be different’

Annat var, þá er inni.
Ek veitta ferð sveittri
högg með hvassri tuggu
Herjans suðr í skerjum
Elfar. Opt nam kólfi
Ormr hagliga at forma
mest, þá er Miðjungs traustir
mágar eptir lágu.

It used to be different, when inside. I dealt blows with the sharp mouthful of Herjan <= Fenrir(?)> [SWORD] to the bloody host down south among the skerries of the Götaälv. Ormr often aimed with the arrow skilfully mostly when the trusted kinsmen of Miðjungr <giant> [GIANTS] were left lying.
