Drǫfn skylr stál, þars straumfylgin Bylgja þvær stafni; Hefring brestr, en Himinglæva hristir mar Vimrar. Grœn* Hrǫnn dregr gadd ór grunni; Blóðughadda svelr; Uðr ok Kolga venr elg egghúfs við glym Dúfu.
Drǫfn washes the prow where the stream-following Bylgja rinses the stem; Hefring breaks and Himinglæva shakes the horse of Vimur <river> [SHIP]. The green Hrǫnn pulls the anchor-fluke from the bottom of the sea; Blóðughadda becomes cold; Uðr and Kólga accustom the elk of the sharp-edged hull [SHIP] to Dúfa’s din.
