SnSt Ht 84III/7 — svá ‘in such a manner’

Orð fekk gótt gramr;
hann es gunntamr;
mjǫk es fullframr
fylkir rausnsamr,
hinn es mál metr;
milding sízt getr
þann, es svá setr
seggi hvern vetr.

Gramr fekk gótt orð; hann es gunntamr; fullframr fylkir, hinn es metr mál, es mjǫk rausnsamr; sízt getr þann milding, es setr seggi svá hvern vetr.

The ruler got a good reputation; he is battle-accustomed; the truly outstanding leader, the one who judges lawsuits, is very glorious; there will never be a lord who treats his men in such a manner each winter.
