Bragi Rdr 5III/2 — fylkir

Þar, svát gerðu gyrðan
golfhǫlkvis sá fylkis,
segls naglfara siglur
saums andvanar standa.
Urðu snemst ok Sǫrli
samráða þeir Hamðir
hǫrðum herðimýlum
Hergauts vinu barðir.

Þar, svát gerðu gyrðan sá golfhǫlkvis fylkis, standa siglur segls naglfara, andvanar saums. Þeir Sǫrli ok Hamðir urðu snemst barðir samráða hǫrðum herðimýlum vinu Hergauts.

There, so that they encircled the vat of the floor-steed [HOUSE > BED] of the ruler, the masts of the sail of the nail-studded one <ship’s planking> [SHIELD > WARRIORS], lacking nails, stand. Sǫrli and Hamðir were very soon pelted by common resolve with hard shoulder-lumps of the mistress of Hergautr <= Óðinn> [= Jǫrð (jǫrð ‘earth’) > STONES].
