Hjálm Lv 10VIII (Ǫrv 20)/1 — Hrafn ‘raven’

Hrafn flýgr austan         af hám meiði;
flýgr honum eptir         örn í sinni.
Þeim gef ek erni         efstum bráðir;
sá mun á blóði         bergja mínu.

Hrafn flýgr austan af hám meiði; örn flýgr eptir honum í sinni. Ek gef þeim efstum erni bráðir; sá mun bergja á blóði mínu.

A raven flies from the east from a tall tree; an eagle flies after him in company. I will provide meat for the last eagle; that one will taste my blood.
