SnSt Ht 99III/7 — hirð ‘to the retinue’

Þeir ’ró jǫfrar         alvitrastir,
hringum hæztir,         hugrakkastir,
vellum verstir,         vígdjarfastir,
hirð hollastir,         happi næstir.

Þeir jǫfrar ’ró alvitrastir, hæztir hringum, hugrakkastir, verstir vellum, vígdjarfastir, hollastir hirð, næstir happi.

Those princes are the very wisest, the most dangerous to rings, the most courageous of heart, the worst to gold, the most battle-brave, the most loyal to the retinue, the closest to good fortune.
