SnSt Ht 29III/5 — fylkir ‘The leader’

Tvær mank hilmi hýrum
heimsvistir ótvistar;
hlautk ásamt at sitja
seimgildi fémildum.
Fúss gaf fylkir hnossir
fleinstýri margdýrar;
hollr vas hersa stilli
hoddspennir fjǫlmennum.

Mank hýrum hilmi tvær ótvistar heimsvistir; hlautk at sitja ásamt fémildum seimgildi. Fylkir gaf fúss fleinstýri margdýrar hnossir; hoddspennir vas hollr stilli hersa fjǫlmennum.

I remember the cheerful prince for two not unpleasant home-visits; I got to sit together with the generous gold-increaser [GENEROUS MAN = Hákon]. The leader gave, eager, most precious treasures to the spear-controller [WARRIOR = Snorri]; the hoard-spender [GENEROUS MAN = Snorri] was loyal to the lord of hersar [RULER], strong in number.
