SnSt Ht 68III/4 — mærð ‘poem’

Fremstr varð Skúli.
Skala lof dvala;
semk mildum gram
mærð fjǫlsnœrða.
Meir skalk stœri
styrs hróðr fyrir
— kærr vask harra —
hers gnótt bera.

Skúli varð fremstr … Skala dvala lof; semk mildum gram fjǫlsnœrða mærð. Meir skalk bera hróðr stœri styrs fyrir gnótt hers; vask kærr harra.

Skúli became the foremost … I shall not delay the praise; I put together a many-stranded poem for the generous prince. As before, I shall bear the fame of the increaser of battle [WARRIOR] before a multitude of men; I was dear to the lord.
