Gísl Magnkv 1II/1 — Ungr ‘The young one’

Ungr framði sik,        þars alendr vildu
lofsælan gram        landi ræna
Imðar faxa,        en jǫfurr sótti
Báleygs viðu        með blôum hjǫrvi.

Ungr framði sik, þars alendr faxa Imðar vildu ræna lofsælan gram landi, en jǫfurr sótti viðu Báleygs með blôum hjǫrvi.

The young one excelled where the nourishers of Imð’s <troll-woman’s> steed [WOLF > WARRIORS] wished to rob the praise-blessed lord of his land, and the prince attacked Báleygr’s <= Óðinn’s> trees [WARRIORS] with the dark sword.
