Kunna hugtak

Þik konung.

Þanns á kvinnum býr

Hersin Norðmanna.

Djúpum ræðr kjólum

roðnum röngun.

Rauðum skjöldum

Tjörguðum rum.

Tjöldum drifnum

Hlaðnir óru hölda.

Hvítra skjalda

Vigra vestrœnna.

Valskra sverða

Grenjúðu berserkir.

Guðr vas á sinnum

Emjuðu Ulfhenðnar.

Isörn dúðu

Þá eru þeir reitir.

Es vitu rómu væni

Örvir upp at hlaupa.

Árar at sveigja

Hömlur at slíta.

En hái at brjóta

Ríkula hykk þá vörru.

Þeysa at vísa raði

At berserkja.

Reiðu vilk spyrja

Bergir hræsævar.

Hversu es fengit

Þeims í fólk vaða

Vígdjörfmun verum?

Grenjúðu berserkir

Guður vas á sinnum

Emjuðu Ulfhenðnar.

Isörn dúðu

Hömlúr at slíta.

En háit at brjóta

Ríkula hykk þá vörru

Þeysa at vísa ráðí.
