SnSt Ht 98III/2 — vell ‘gold’

Veitk verðari,         þás vell gefa,
brǫndum beita         ok búa snekkjur,
hæra hróðrar,         en heimdrega,
unga jǫfra,         en auðspǫruð.

Veitk unga jǫfra, þás gefa vell, beita brǫndum ok búa snekkjur, verðari hæra hróðrar en heimdrega, en auðspǫruð.

I know that young princes, who give gold, brandish swords and occupy warships, are worthier of higher praise than a stay-at-home, than a wealth-withholder.
