Gísl Magnkv 3II/1 — knátti ‘one could’

Séa knátti þá        siklings flota
vel vígligan        ok vanan sigri,
es fyr Yrjar        í aga miklum
óþrotligt lið        árar kníði.

Þá knátti séa flota siklings, vel vígligan ok vanan sigri, es óþrotligt lið kníði árar fyr Yrjar í miklum aga.

Then one could see the sovereign’s fleet, well war-equipped and accustomed to victory, when the indefatigable crew smote the oars off Ørland in heavy seas.
