Spurðust vor und vörðum

Was learned spring (?) under a pile of stones

verk Styrbjarnar merkjum.
Styrbjarn's work of distinction.

Járnfaldinn hlóð öldum
The iron hood built ages

Eirekr í dyn geira.
Eirekr makes in noise.

Nú trað eg hauðr of heiði
I now trod earth over bright sky

hundvillr því fat eg illa
utterly lost I stepped poorly

víða braut í votri
far and wide away in wet (?)

vífs görninga drífu.

Woman's deeds drove (as snow)

Björn var nú heima um veturinn.
