Land sáu þeir Atla
ok liðskjálfar djúpa,
Bikka greppar standa
á borg inni há,
sal of suðrþjóðum
sleginn sessmeiðum,
bundnum rǫndum,
bleikum skjǫldum,
dafar, darraða,
en þar drakk Atli
vín í valhǫllu,
verðir sátu úti
at varða þeim Gunnari,
af þeir hér vitja kvæmi
með geiri gjallanda
at vekja gram hildi.
14.
Atles hal saa de,
indgange dybe,
Bikkes mænd stande
paa borgen høie,
søndermænds salen
sluttet med benke,
buklede bræder
og blanke skjolde,
drottens dyststenger;
og drak der Atle
vin i valhallen,
vagter sad ude
paa vagt mod Gunnar,
vilde han ham gjeste,
kamp byde kongen
med klirrende glavind.

Then they saw Atli's halls, |
and his watch-towers high,
On the walls so lofty |
stood the warriors of Buthli;
The hall of the southrons |
with seats was surrounded,
With targets bound |
and shields full bright.
15.
Mid weapons and lances |
did Atli his wine
In the war-hall drink, |
without were his watchmen,
For Gunnar they waited, |
if forth he should go,
With their ringing spears |
they would fight with the ruler.
