Belja dóttur, í Baldrshaga.
Því skal ek hitta Hring at máli,
hversu er fylkir fagnar greppi.

I am not able to marry Ingibjǫrg, daughter of Beli, in Baldrshagi. For that reason I must meet Hringr for a talk, regardless of how the ruler will welcome the man.
[2] * Ingibjörgu: ‘enn hugar rædum’ 510, í Ingibjörgi 27ˣ
[2] * Ingibjörgu ‘Ingibjǫrg’: Ms. 27’s initial í has been deleted. Skj B, followed by Skald, emends 510’s ‘enn hugar rædum’ to give en hugazræður, which Finnur Jónsson construes, with l. 1, as Intet husker jeg gladere end de fortrolige samtaler med Beles datter ‘I do not remember anything sweeter than the confidential conversations with Beli’s daughter’. He relies on the existence of a cpd hugazrœða ‘confidential conversation’, found in Gríp 14/2 (NK 166).
