Hjþ Lv 10VIII (HjǪ 30)/8 — grams ‘of King’

Hjálmþér ek heiti,         hirði ek fátt segja
fylki framvísum         á fyrsta kveldi.
Vil ek eigi hvarfla hér         á hallar gólfi;
seg mér til sætis,         sonr em ek grams Inga.

Ek heiti Hjálmþér, ek hirði segja framvísum fylki fátt á fyrsta kveldi. Ek vil eigi hvarfla hér á gólfi hallar; seg mér til sætis, ek em sonr Inga grams.

I am called Hjálmþér, I care to say little to the prophetic king on the first evening. I do not want to wander about here on the floor of the hall; direct me to a seat, I am the son of King Ingi.
