Bjarkamál in Fornu
(Sbr. Hrólfs sögu kraka)
Dagr es upp kominn,
dynja hana fjaðrar,
mál es vílmögum
at vinna erfiði;
vaki ok æ vaki
vina höfuð,
allir inir æztu
Aðils ofsinnar.
Hár inn harðgreipi,
Hrólfr skjótandi,
ættum góðir menn,
þeir es ekki flýja;
vekka yðr at víni,
né at vífs rúnum,
heldr vekk yðr at hörðum
Hildar leiki.
Hniginn es í hadd jarðar
Hrólfr inn stórláti.
Gramr inn gjöflasti
gæddi hirð sína
Fenju forverki,
Fáfnis miðgarði,
Glasis glóbarri,
Grana fagrbyrði,
Draupnis dýrsveita,
dúni Grafvitnis.
Ýtti örr hilmir,
aldir við tóku,
Sifjar svarðfestum,
svelli dalnauðar,
tregum Otrs gjöldum,
tárum Mardallar,
eldi Órunar,
Iðja glysmálum.
Gladdi gunnveitir,
gengum fagrbúnir,
Þjaza þingskilum
þjóðir hermargar,
Rínar rauðmalmi,
rógi Niflunga,
vísi inn vígdjarfi,
varði hann Baldr þeygi.
Svá skalk hann kyrkja
sem inn kámleita
véli viðbjarnar
veggja aldinna.
