Innsteinn Innkv 13VIII (Hálf 33)/3 — eldi ‘the fire’

Snúiz snarliga         snyrtidrengir
út ór eldi         með auðbrota.
Enginn er ýta,         sá er æ lifir;
mun ekki baugbroti         við bana kvíða.

Snyrtidrengir snúiz snarliga út ór eldi með auðbrota. Er enginn ýta, sá er lifir æ; baugbroti mun ekki kvíða við bana.

May the gallant warriors turn quickly out of the fire with the treasure-breaker [GENEROUS RULER = Hálfr]. There is no man who lives forever; the ring-breaker [GENEROUS RULER = Hálfr] will not be apprehensive of death.
