SnSt Ht 22III/3 — vill ‘wants’

Himinglæva strýkr hávar
— hrǫnn skilja sog — þiljur;
lǫgstíga vill lœgir
ljótr fagrdrasil brjóta.
Lýsheims náir ljóma
— líðr ár — of gram blíðum
— uðr rekkir kjǫl kløkkvan
kǫld — eisa; far geisar.

Himinglæva strýkr hávar þiljur; sog skilja hrǫnn; ljótr lœgir vill brjóta fagrdrasil lǫgstíga. Eisa lýsheims náir ljóma of blíðum gram; ár líðr; kǫld uðr rekkir kløkkvan kjǫl; far geisar.

Himinglæva <wave> strokes tall planks; keels split the breaker; the hideous sea wants to break the fair steed of sea-paths [SHIP]. Fire of the pollack-home [SEA > GOLD] can shine above the gentle prince; the year passes; the cold wave emboldens the flexible keel; the vessel speeds on.
