Hrinda lætr hniggrund
hafbekks snekkjur,
þás falla, fleinþollr
frár, mál, stálum.
Hlummi lítr hergramr
hirðmenn spenna,

rógálfr, skjálfa.

Frár fleinþollr lætr snekkjur hrinda hniggrund hafbekks stálum, þás mál falla. Hergramr rógálfr lítr hirðmenn spenna hlummi, en raungóð rœði skjálfa.

The swift spear-fir [WARRIOR] makes warships thrust against the bucking-ground of the sea-bench [SHIP > SEA] with prows when times are opportune. The battle-grim strife-elf [WARRIOR] sees retainers grasp oar-handles, and very good oars tremble.
