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>.
[7] ‑leita: so corrected from ‘‑letra’ in another hand papp6ˣ, ‘‑letra’ 109a IIIˣ, ÍBR5ˣ
[7]: This edn, following a suggestion of Kari Ellen Gade, adopts papp6ˣ’s emended reading of this line, which, as its stands in all mss, is too short and lacks double alliteration. The first two words ‘vør hin’ of papp6ˣ’s correction are understood to be respectively the goddess-name Vǫr (see SnE 2005, 29) and the f. nom. sg. of the def. art. (h)in.
