Litu er lýsti
létusk þeir fúsir
allir upp rísa,
ǫnnur þau lǫttu;
fóru fimm saman,
fleiri til váru
hálfu húskarlar,
hugat var því illa;
Snævarr ok Sólarr,
synir váru þeir Hǫgna,
Orkning þann hétu
er þeim enn fylgði,
blíðr var bǫrr skjaldar,
bróðir hans kvánar.

Da led mod lysning,
lysted til ferden
alle at staa op,
andre fra raaded;
fem sammen fór de,
fulgte huskarle
tvefold i tallet,
— tankeløst var det —
Snævar og Solar,
sønner af Hogne,
Orkning han kaldtes,
som end dem fulgte,
hugprude helt var
hans hustrus broder.

Then bright shone the morning, |
the men all were ready,
They said, and yet each |
would the other hold back;
Five were the warriors, |
and their followers all
But twice as many,-- |
their minds knew not wisdom.

Snævar and Solar, |
they were sons of Hogni,
Orkning was he called |
who came with the others,
Blithe was the shield-tree, |
the brother of Kostbera;
