Men bjóðum þér máls at gjöldum;
muna drengja vin dælt at letja.
Fær engi nú svá fríðar hnossir
fagra bauga, at ek fara eigi.
Bjóðum þér men at gjöldum máls; muna dælt at letja vin drengja. Engi fær nú svá fríðar hnossir, fagra bauga, at ek fara eigi.
We [I] offer you a necklace as reward for your word; it will not be easy to hold back the friend of the valiant ones. None can give now such beautiful treasures, fair rings, that I will not go.
[7] fagra bauga: om. R715ˣ
[7-8]: Line 7 was originally omitted in R715ˣ, but corrected in a later hand to at ek ei fara at mínum vilja ‘that I will not go according to my desire’, which restores an eight-line stanza, though one which is metrically deficient and clearly secondary to the reading of the main ms.
