Jarl fór*at meiri tírarfǫr at glaumi geirs — en kenndi *endr hermǫrum ára dóm* Gǫndlar —, unz þás meiðr hjaldrs hrauð skeiðar víkinga †nunnar fús á mæti†, en ræsik þat gjǫldum Hrauðnis.
The jarl did not make a greater expedition of glory in the revelry of the spear [BATTLE] — and he again taught the war-horses of oars [SHIPS] the judgement of Gǫndul <valkyrie> [BATTLE] — until the time when the tree of battle [WARRIOR = Hákon] cleared the warships of the vikings … , and I declare that in the recompenses of Hrauðnir <giant> [POETRY].
