Hjþ Lv 3VIII (HjǪ 5)/4 — seggja ‘men’

Hræðilig muntu þykkja         hölða liði,
        þótt þú oss í sinni sér.
Engan várn seggja         þú svíkja munt,
vösk vinkona,         Vör in harðleita.

Muntu þykkja liði hölða hræðilig, þótt þú sér oss í sinni. Þú munt svíkja engan várn seggja, vösk vinkona, Vör in harðleita.

You will seem dreadful to the company of heroes, even though you may be of help to us. You will deceive not one of our men, valiant woman-friend, the hard-faced Vör <goddess>.
