ǪrvOdd Ævdr 45VIII (Ǫrv 115)/2 — fyr ‘in the presence’

Mátta ek banorði         fyr brögnum hrósa
snotra seggja,         er til sævar kom.
Höfðum vit Hjálmarr         haldit illa,
þá er Glámi stóð         í gegnum spjör.

Ek mátta hrósa banorði snotra seggja fyr brögnum, er kom til sævar. Vit Hjálmarr höfðum haldit illa, þá er spjör stóð í gegnum Glámi.

I was able to boast about the death of wise men in the presence of warriors, when I came to the sea. Hjálmarr and I had taken it badly when a spear pierced Glámr.
