Glez Hreggviðr, þá er Hrólfr fær
ungrar meyjar Ingigerðar.
Mun Hólmgarði hilmir stýra,
Sturlaugs sonr; standi kvæði.
Hreggviðr glez, þá er Hrólfr fær ungrar meyjar Ingigerðar. Hilmir, sonr Sturlaugs, mun stýra Hólmgarði; standi kvæði.
Hreggviðr will rejoice when Hrólfr marries the young maiden Ingigerðr. The prince, son of Sturlaugr, will govern Novgorod; let the poem cease.

[2] þá er ‘when’: The particle er has been restored as a routine normalisation to 1250-1300 usage from 589f’s þá, which shows C14th loss of er after þá (NS §261). This has also been added by Skj B and Skald. Line 2 requires the desyllabification of Hrólfr to Hrólfur to be metrically correct.
