Herv Lv 17VIII (Heiðr 42)/4 — sverð ‘the sword’

Vel gerðir þú,         víkinga niðr,
er þú seldir mér         sverð ór haugi.
Betr þykkjumz nú,         buðlungr, hafa,
en ek Nóregi         næðak öllum.

Þú gerðir vel, niðr víkinga, er þú seldir mér sverð ór haugi. Þykkjumz hafa betr nú, buðlungr, en ek næðak öllum Nóregi.

You did well, son of vikings, when you gave me the sword from the mound. I feel better now, prince, than if I were to obtain all Norway.
