 Hamdir's Kirtle, as Hallfredr sang:


 * The war-sleet hard and streaming
 * Of Egill's weapons breaketh
 * Fiercely on Hamdir's Kirtles
 * Of the foremost wave-deer's warriors.

Sörli's Garments, as he sang further:


 * Thence the bright Weeds of Sörli
 * In men's blood must be reddened;
 * I hear it clearly: Wound-Fire
 * In cutting showers of iron.

Shields are called Tents of Hlökk, as Grettír sang:


 * Hlökk's Tent-Raisers held their noses
 * Together, and the heroes
 * Of the Rain-Storm of Hildr's Shield-Wall
 * Hewed at each other's beards.

Ródi's Roof, as Einarr sang:


 * Ródi's Roof's great Ice-Lump
 * For the Rain of Freyja's Eyelids
 * Grows not less, my fair axe-head;
 * His age my lord so useth.

Wall of Hildr, as Grettír sang, and as we have written before.

Ship-Sun, as Einarr sang:


 * In the sea Ólafr's Kinsman
 * Reddens the flame of the Ship-Sun.
