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.
