Hjǫrtr varð braut frá hreyti seima; fór heim at þat; frægr boði hringa bað Krist fultings við freistni. Drengr sagði konu sinni heit goðssonar, þaus dugðu; rǫskr beitir dolglinns* gat hug við háska.
The hart went away from the flinger of gold [GENEROUS MAN]; he went home after that; the famous offerer of rings [GENEROUS MAN] asked Christ for help in the face of his trial. The man told his wife the promises of God’s son [= Christ], which were powerful; the brave handler of the battle-serpent [SWORD > WARRIOR] received courage against danger.
