RvHbreiðm Hl 52III/7 — réð

Réð gunnstara gildi
Gauts mútari drekka,
þvít morðhauka milsku
Muninn kunni sér nýta.
Ǫl vas ógnar gagla
ótrautt gefit hrafni;
réð ylgjar mjǫð erni
ógndjarfr konungr veita.

Mútari Gauts réð drekka gildi gunnstara, þvít Muninn kunni nýta sér milsku morðhauka. Ǫl gagla ógnar vas ótrautt gefit hrafni; ógndjarfr konungr réð veita erni mjǫð ylgjar.

The hawk of Gautr <= Óðinn> [RAVEN/EAGLE] drank the banquet of the battle-starling [RAVEN > BLOOD], because Muninn <raven> knew how to avail itself of the brew of battle-hawks [RAVENS/EAGLES > BLOOD]. Ale of goslings of battle [RAVENS/EAGLES > BLOOD] was unstintingly given to the raven; the battle-brave king gave mead of the she-wolf [BLOOD] to the eagle.
