Hamðir’s <legendary hero’s> tunic [BYRNIE] falls around the ruler of the fires of spear-crash [BATTLE > SWORDS > WARRIOR] where the family-pillar of princes [RULER = Hákon] hides the limbs of the shoulders [ARMS] with rings. He covers the forest of the farmstead of the brain [HEAD > HAIR] with the battle-boar [HELMET], and the distributor of gold [GENEROUS MAN], the outstanding person, swings the battle-pollack [SWORD] in his perch of the hawk [HAND].
