Hjaðningavíg
(Sbr. Sörla þátt eða Heðins sögu ok Högna)
Ok ofþerris æða
ósk-Rán at þat sínum
til fárhuga færa
feðr veðr boga hugði,
þás hristi-Sif hringa
hals, in böls of fyllda,
bar til byrjar drösla
baug örlygis draugi.
Bauða sú til bleyði
bæti-Þrúðr at móti
malma mætum hilmi
men dreyrugra benja;
svá lét ey, þótt etti,
sem orrostu letti,
jöfrum ulfs at sinna
með algífris lifru.
Letrat lýða stillir
landa vanr á sandi,
þá svall heipt í Högna,
hönd glamma mun stöðva,
es þrimregin þremja
þróttig Heðin sóttu,
heldr an Hildar svíra
hringa þeir of fingi.
Ok fyr hönd í holmi
hveðru brynju Viðris
fengeyðandi fljóða
fordæða nam ráða;
allr gekk herr und hurðir
Hjarranda fram kyrrar
reiðr af Reifnis skeiði
raðaralfs mari bráðum.
Þá má sókn á Svölnis
salpenningi kenna;
Ræs göfumk reiðar mána
Ragnarr ok fjöld sagna.
(Úr Ragnarsdrápu Braga ins gamla Boddasonar.)
