ÞGísl Búdr 10I/1 — Ǫrum ‘arrows’

Ǫrum réð sér snǫrpum
— slíkt es raun gǫrpum —
flagð it forljóta
af fingrum skjóta.
Gerðisk grimmt fíkjum
at gumnum ríkjum
— gnýr vas hôr hlífa —
hregg ok loptdrífa.

It forljóta flagð réð skjóta snǫrpum ǫrum af fingrum sér; slíkt es raun gǫrpum. Fíkjum grimmt hregg ok loptdrífa gerðisk at ríkjum gumnum; gnýr hlífa vas hôr.

The very ugly troll-woman shot sharp arrows from her fingers; such is a trial for brave men. An extremely savage storm and sky-blizzard arose against the mighty men; the clash of shields [BATTLE] was loud.
