Anon (TGT) 30III/1 — bauga ‘of rings’

Braut stǫkk bauga neytir
bleikr frá sverða leiki.

Neytir bauga stǫkk, bleikr, braut frá leiki sverða.

The enjoyer of rings [MAN] fled, pale, away from the play of swords [BATTLE].

notes

[1] neytir bauga ‘the enjoyer of rings [MAN]’: Anon (TGT) 8 describes a hringlestir ‘ring-breaker’ advancing to battle; this fragment has a similar structure, with the reversed motif, an ‘enjoyer of rings’ fleeing from battle.
