SnSt Ht 55III/3 — gjarnara ‘more eager’

Hverr séi jǫfra œgi
jarl fjǫlvitrum betra
eða gjarnara at gœða
glym hraðsveldan skjalda?
Stendr af stála skúrar
styrr ólítill Gauti,
þás fólks jaðarr foldir
ferr sig-Njǫrðum varða.

Hverr séi jarl betra fjǫlvitrum œgi jǫfra eða gjarnara at gœða hraðsveldan glym skjalda? Ólítill styrr stendr af Gauti skúrar stála, þás jaðarr fólks ferr varða foldir sig-Njǫrðum.

Who might see a jarl better than the extremely wise terrifier of princes [RULER] or more eager to increase the swift-growing clash of shields [BATTLE]? No small enmity issues from the Gautr <= Óðinn> of the shower of swords [BATTLE > WARRIOR] when the protector of the people [RULER] goes to defend the lands against battle-Nirðir <gods> [WARRIORS].
