Busla Busl 1VIII (Bós 1)/1 — liggr ‘lies’

Hér liggr Hringr konungr         hilmir Gauta
einráðastr         allra manna.
Ætlar þú son þinn         sjálfr at myrða;
þau munu fádæmi         fréttaz víða.

Hér liggr Hringr konungr, hilmir Gauta, einráðastr allra manna. Þú ætlar sjálfr at myrða son þinn; þau fádæmi munu fréttaz víða.

Here lies King Hringr, ruler of the Gautar, the most stubborn of all men. You yourself intend to murder your son; these shocking events will be heard far and wide.
