Náði folk, þats flýði
ferð skundila undan,
— illr varð hreimr í helli —

aftíg, gamalt vígi,
— kvǫl beið ǫld í eldi
ósæl — djǫfuls þrælum.
Konungr náði meiða heiðit folk, þats flýði skundila undan ferð; illr hreimr varð í helli. Enn bautt þrælum djǫfuls aftíg lífs, þás unnuð gamalt vígi; ósæl ǫld beið kvǫl í eldi.
