THE ISLANDIC ORIGINAL

OF THE

Incantation of Hervor.

V. Hervarer Saga, Olaj Verelj. Upsal. 1672. fol. p. 91.


HERVOR.
VAkadnu Angantyr,
Vekur thig Hervor
Einka dotter
Yckar Suafu:
Sel thu mer ur hauge
Hardan mækir,
Than er Suafurlama
Slogu duergar.

Hervardur, Hior-vardur,
Hrani oc Angantyr,
Vek eg ijdr alla
Vidar under rotum,
Med hialmi oc briniu,
Oc huossu suerdi,
Raund oc reida,
Oc rodnum geiri.

Ero miog vordner
Andgryms syner
Mein-giarner ad
Molldar auka!
Ad eingi gior sona
Eyvòr vid mig mæla
Ur munar heimi!
Hervardur, Hiorvardur.

Suo sie ijdur aullum
Innan rifia
Sem er i maura
Mornid hangi,
Nema suerd selier,
Thad er slogu duergar
Samyra draugum;
Dyrt um fetla.

[Ithui bili opnudust haugar, oc var alt ad sia sem logi eirn, oc tha var thetta quedid i hauge Angantyrs:]

ANGANTYR.
Hervor dotter
Huij kallar suo,
Full feikinstafa,
Fer thu ad illu?
Od ertu ordin
Oc orvita
Vill-higgiandi
Vekia dauda menn.

Grofu mig ey fader
Nie frændur adrer.
Their haufdu Tirfing
