SnSt Ht 59III/7 — glyggvi ‘the gale’

Hjálmlestir skekr Hristar
hreggǫld Sigars veggi;
gramr lætr í byr brjóta
brands hnigþili randa stranda.
Stálhrafna lætr stefnir
styrvind of sik þyrja;
þiggr at Gǫndlar glyggvi
gagn oddviti bragna sagna.

Hjálmlestir skekr veggi Sigars hreggǫld Hristar; gramr lætr hnigþili brands brjóta í byr stranda randa. Stefnir stálhrafna lætr styrvind þyrja of sik; oddviti sagna bragna þiggr gagn at glyggvi Gǫndlar.

The helmet-damager [WARRIOR] shakes walls of Sigarr <legendary king> [SHIELDS] during the storm-age of Hrist <valkyrie> [BATTLE]; the ruler makes bending boards of the sword [SHIELDS] break in the fair breeze of the shores of shields [SHIELD-RIMS > BATTLE]. The impeller of prow-ravens [SHIPS > SEAFARER] makes tumult-wind [BATTLE] rage around him; the leader of troops of men receives victory at the gale of Gǫndul <valkyrie> [BATTLE].
