 As Thjódólfr sang:


 * Thus the doughty Sikling ended
 * His life; in dire straits were we:
 * The glorious Lofdung waited
 * Bravely surcease of living.

The folk who were called Lofdar followed King Lofdi.

As Arnórr sang:


 * Chief, another Skjöldung higher
 * Than thou shall ne'er be born 'neath sun's light.

Völsung, as Thorkell Hamar-Skald sang:


 * The Kin of Völsungs
 * Gave counsel to send me
 * The gold-decked weapon
 * O'er the cool waters.

Yngling, as Ottarr the Swarthy sang:


 * In the East no mighty Yngling
 * To earth fell, ere o'ertook thee
 * He who subjected to him
 * The Sea-isles from the westward.

Yngvi: that too is a king's title, as Markús sang:


 * The age shall hear the praise of Eiríkr:
 * None in the world a prince hath known of
 * Lordlier; thou holdest, Yngvi,
 * The Seat of Kings with long-kept glory.
