SnSt Ht 96III/6 — farisk ‘perish’

Orts of ræsi,         þanns rýðr granar
vargs ok ylgjar         ok vápn litar.
Þat mun æ lifa,         nema ǫld farisk,
bragninga lof,         eða bili heimar.

Orts of ræsi, þanns rýðr granar vargs ok ylgjar ok litar vápn. Þat lof bragninga mun æ lifa, nema ǫld farisk, eða heimar bili.

[Poetry] has been composed about the ruler [= Skúli] who reddens the whiskers of the wolf and the she-wolf and colours weapons. That praise of lords will always live, unless people perish or worlds collapse.
