ǪrvOdd Lv 7VIII (Ǫrv 37)/4 — hugar ‘mettle’

Þú látt, Sjólfr,         soðgólfi á,
dáða vanr         ok dýrs hugar,
en ek út         með Akvitánum
fjóra menn         fjörvi næmðak.

Sjólfr, þú látt á soðgólfi, vanr dáða ok dýrs hugar, en ek næmðak fjóra menn fjörvi út með Akvitánum.

Sjólfr, you lay on the kitchen floor, lacking in achievements and splendid mettle, but I deprived four men of life out among the people of Aquitaine.
