Bar eg theingils lof
A thagnar rof
Kan eg maela miot
I manna siot
Or hlatra ham
Hradur ber eg gram
Sa for that fram
Ad flestur opnam

Nu fylger oskan a efter
Niota bauga
Sem brage auga
Vagna vara
Edur vile tara.

GAundul ok Skogul
Sendi Gauta Tyr
At kiosa um konga,
Huer Yngua aettar,
Skylldi meth Othni fara,

I Brinio fara
Kong hinn kozsama,
Kominn und Gunnfana,
Drupto Dolgar,
Enn Darrathur hristiz
Upp var tha hyldur ofhafinn.

Het a Haleygi,
Sems a Halmrhygi,
Jarla Einbani,
For til Orosto,
Gott hafthi hinn gaufgi
Geingi Northmanna,
Eythir eythana
Stoth und Ar-hialmi.
