 Ground, as Hallvardr sang:


 * The broad Ground, 'neath the venom-cold Adder
 * Bound, lies subject to the Warrior
 * Of the Island-Fetter's heaped gold;
 * The Hone-Land's Lord the hoard dispenseth.

Haudr, as Einarr sang:


 * Brave heroes are defending
 * The hard Haudr of famous princes
 * With the sword; oft splits the helmet
 * Before the furious edge-storm.

Land, as Thórdr Kolbeinsson sang:


 * The Land, after the battle,
 * Was laid low from Veiga northward
 * To Agdir south, or farther:
 * Hard is song in conflict.

Fief, as Óttarr sang:


 * Thou, fierce War-Staff, maintainedst
 * The Fief despite two Monarchs
 * With heroes' kin. where the ravens
 * Starved not; keen-hearted art thou.
