RvHbreiðm Hl 19III/5 — Ruðr ‘The shrub’

Sigurð frák seðja
sára skára;
verð skóp vísi
vǫrgum mǫrgum.
Ruðr nam rjóða
randa branda;
sókn gerði sá
snarpa skarpa.

Frák Sigurð seðja skára sára; vísi skóp mǫrgum vǫrgum verð. Ruðr randa nam rjóða branda; sá gerði snarpa, skarpa sókn.

I heard that Sigurðr sated the sea-gull of wounds [RAVEN/EAGLE]; the leader created a meal for many wolves. The shrub of shield-rims [WARRIOR] began to redden blades; that one made a swift, sharp attack.
