Sýnir trausts seggja gekk með tvá unga sonu sína af flausti; þrekmanns ævi vas þá þung. Seimtýnir kom sveinum at breiðri ô; nenninn borðs* søkkmeiðr né þorði bera báða senn yfir.
The demonstrator of support to men [RULER] went with his two young sons from the ship; the powerful man’s life was heavy then. The gold-destroyer [GENEROUS MAN] brought the boys to a broad river; the brave tree of the jewel of the gunwale [(lit. ‘jewel-tree of the gunwale’) SHIELD > SEAFARER] did not dare to carry both over at once.
