SnSt Ht 81III/7 — hróðr ‘praise’

Fluttak frœði
of frama grœði
— tunga tœði —
með tǫlu rœði.
Stef skal stœra
stilli Mœra
hróðr dugir hrœra —
ok honum fœra.

Fluttak frœði of grœði frama með rœði tǫlu; tunga tœði. Skal stœra stef stilli Mœra ok fœra honum; dugir hrœra hróðr.

I have presented accounts of the promoter of fame [RULER = Skúli] with the oar of speech [TONGUE]; the tongue helped. I shall augment the poem about the lord of the Mœrir [NORWEGIAN RULER = Skúli] and bring [it] to him; it is fitting to compose praise.
