Hergunnr Lv 1VIII (HjǪ 15)/7 — mildungs ‘the prince’s’

Tölum ek treysti         at tala við höfþingja,
þó munum vér lítit,         þat er til vegar horfir.
Skulum til skála         skunda göngu
ok menn mildungs         merkja á seyði.

Ek treysti tölum at tala við höfþingja, þó munum vér lítit, þat er horfir til vegar. Skulum skunda göngu til skála ok merkja menn mildungs á seyði.

I trust in my powers of speech to talk with chieftains, yet we [I] will [do] little that leads to honour. We shall speed our course to the hall and observe the prince’s men on the fire.
