Skýtr at Skǫglar veðri,
en skjaldagi haldask,
Hildar hlemmidrífu
of hvítum þrǫm rítar.
Enn í sœfis sveita
at sverðtogi ferðar
rýðr aldar vinr odda
— þats jarlmegin — snarla.
Skýtr hlemmidrífu Hildar of hvítum þrǫm rítar at veðri Skǫglar, en skjaldagi haldask. Enn vinr aldar rýðr odda snarla í sveita sœfis at sverðtogi ferðar; þats jarlmegin.
The rumbling blizzard of Hildr <valkyrie> [ARROWS] is shot over the white rim of the shield at the storm of Skǫgul <valkyrie> [BATTLE], and the shields do not endure. And the friend of the people [RULER] reddens spear-points quickly in the sweat of the sword [BLOOD] at the sword-drawing [BATTLE] of the company; that is the power of the jarl.
