RvHbreiðm Hl 37III/3 — glaðan ‘a cheerful’

Hafði Helgi         í hjǫrva gný
geðstein glaðan,         gótt drengjaval,
hjalm harðsleginn,         hjól mundriða,
sverð snardregit         ok svala brynju.

Helgi hafði glaðan geðstein í gný hjǫrva, gótt drengjaval, harðsleginn hjalm, hjól mundriða, snardregit sverð ok svala brynju.

Helgi had a cheerful mind-stone [HEART] in the clamour of swords [BATTLE], a good choice of warriors, a hard-forged helmet, a wheel of the sword [SHIELD], a swift-drawn sword and a cold byrnie.
