Víg Jörmunreks, Sorla og Hamðis
(Sbr. Völsunga sögu, 42. kap.)
Knátti eðr við illan
Jörmunrekkr at vakna
með dreyrfáar dróttir
draum í sverða flaumi.
Rósta varð í ranni
Randvés höfuðniðja,
þás hrafnbláir hefndu
harma Erps of barmar.
Flaut of set, við sveita,
sóknar alfs í golfi
hræva dögg, þars höggnar
hendr sem fætr of kenndusk.
Fell í blóði blandinn
brunn ölskála, runna
þat's á Leifa landa
laufi fátt, at höfði.
Þar, svát gerðu gyrðan
golfhölkvis sá fylkis,
segls Naglfara siglur
saums andvanar standa.
Urðu snemmst ok Sörli
samráða þeir Hamðir
hörðum herðimýlum
Hergauts vinu barðir.
Mjök lét stála stökkvir
styðja Gjúka niðja
flaums, þás fjörvi næma
Foglhildar mun vildu,
ok bláserkjar birkis,
ball, fagrgötu allir,
ennihögg ok eggjar,
Jónakrs sonum launa.
Þat segik fall á fögrum
flotna randar botni;
Ræs göfumk reiðar mána
Ragnarr ok fjöld sagna.
(Úr Ragnarsdrápu Braga ins gamla Boddasonar).
