ǪrvOdd Ævdr 21VIII (Ǫrv 91)/6 — flagði ‘ogress’

Réð ek at ganga         með Gusisnauta
beggja á milli         bjargs ok eisu.
Laust ek í auga         einu flagði,
en í brjóst framan         bjarga Freyju.

Ek réð at ganga með Gusisnauta á milli beggja bjargs ok eisu. Ek laust einu flagði í auga, en Freyju bjarga framan í brjóst.

I went with Gusir’s gifts <arrows> between both the cliff and the embers. I hit an ogress in the eye, and the Freyja <goddess> of cliffs [GIANTESS] in the breast from the front.
