SnSt Ht 80III/2 — fyr ‘before’

Lofs flutt fjǫrum
fyr gunnǫrum
— né spurð spǫrum
spjǫll grams — snǫrum.
Hefk hans fǫrum
til hróðrs gǫrum
ypt óvǫrum
fyr auðs bǫrum.

Lofs flutt fyr snǫrum, gunnǫrum fjǫrum; né spǫrum spurð spjǫll grams. Hefk ypt fǫrum hans, gǫrum til hróðrs, fyr óvǫrum bǫrum auðs.

Praise is presented before bold, battle-generous men; nor do we [I] withhold stories heard about the ruler. I have extolled his expeditions, performed for glory, before unwary trees of wealth [MEN].
