Kømrat annarr konungmanna, rœmðr gjǫfli, né œðri yðr, Haraldr, und gamlan gnapstól sólar.
No other man of royal descent will come, renowned for generosity, nor more excellent than you, Haraldr, under the old jutting seat of the sun [SKY/HEAVEN].
[3] rœmðr gjǫfli ‘renowned for generosity’: This can be regarded as appealing to the ruler’s generosity, and as such argues for placing the stanza at the end of the poem; see Holtsmark (1927, 53).
