Hjþ Lv 1VIII (HjǪ 2)/3 — leiti

Hjálmþér ek heiti;         hverr spyrr at því,
seggr inn svartleiti         á sædýri?
Drepa skulum drengi,         en dýrgripi eignaz,
fúll falsari,         ella flý í brott.

Ek heiti Hjálmþér; hverr spyrr at því, inn svartleiti seggr á sædýri? Skulum drepa drengi, fúll falsari, en eignaz dýrgripi ella flý í brott.

I am called Hjálmþér; who asks about it, swarthy man on the sea-beast [SHIP]? We shall kill the fellows, foul imposter, and get the treasures or [else] you must flee.
