RvHbreiðm Hl 30III/6 — gramr ‘lord’

Jǫfri vasat aldrklifs
akarn við sverðs brak
— stillir vakði stál*gǫll —
stalldræpt snjǫllum.
Hvǫssu réð hugarsess
— hildar vas sá gramr mildr —
í branda brakvind
baugnjótr grjóti.

Akarn aldrklifs snjǫllum jǫfri vasat stalldræpt við brak sverðs; stillir vakði stál*gǫll. Baugnjótr réð hvǫssu grjóti hugarsess í brakvind branda; sá gramr vas mildr hildar.

The acorn of the life-cliff [BREAST > HEART] of the brave prince was not terror-struck by the crash of the sword [BATTLE]; the ruler stirred up a sword-roar [BATTLE]. The ring-user [MAN] commanded a sharp stone of the mind-seat [BREAST > HEART] in the crash-wind of blades [BATTLE]; that lord was generous with battle.
