Liðbrǫndum kná Lundar
landfrœkn jǫfurr granda;
hykka ræsis rekka
Rínar grjót of þrjóta.

Landfrœkn jǫfurr Lundar kná granda liðbrǫndum; hykka grjót Rínar of þrjóta rekka ræsis.

The land-valiant prince of Lund [DANISH KING] harms limb-fires [ARM-RINGS]; I do not think that the stones of the Rhine <river> [GOLD] run short for the warriors of the chieftain.
