Skúli Svǫlðr 2III/3 —  ‘now’

Fylgðak Frísa dolgi,
(fekk ungr) þars spjǫr sungu,
fiðr ǫld, at eldumk —
(aldrbót) ok Sigvalda,
þás til móts við mœti
malmþings í dyn hjalma
sunnr fyr Svǫlðrar mynni
sárlauk roðinn bôrum.

Fylgðak dolgi Frísa ok Sigvalda, þars spjǫr sungu; fekk ungr aldrbót – fiðr ǫld at eldumk –, þás bôrum roðinn sárlauk í dyn hjalma til móts við mœti malmþings sunnr fyr mynni Svǫlðrar.

I followed the Frisians’ enemy [= Eiríkr] and Sigvaldi, where spears sang; I got renown young – now people find I grow old –, when we [I] bore the reddened wound-leek [SWORD] into the din of helmets [BATTLE] against the meeter of the metal-assembly [BATTLE > WARRIOR] south before the mouth of Svolder.
