Mark Lv 2III/3 — sólar ‘of the sun’

Sœgs munk síðr an eigi
— sás illr, es brag spillir —
sólar sverri málan,
slíðráls regin, níða.

Munk síðr an eigi níða málan sverri sólar sœgs, regin slíðráls; sá, es spillir brag, [e]s illr.

I shall by no means deride the prattling flinger of the sun of the sea [GOLD > GENEROUS MAN], gods of the scabbard-eel [SWORD > WARRIORS]; the one who spoils a praise poem is wicked.
