The song[edit | edit source]
Fara Með Vikingum
Þat mælti min moðir,
at mer skyldi kaupa
fley ok fagrar arar,
fara! a brott með vikingum,
standa upp i stafni,
styra clyrum knerri,
halda sva til hafnar,
hoggva mann ok annan.
Drekkum or, þo at Ekkils
eykriðr beri tiðum
hornasund at hendi,
hvert full, bragar Ulli.
leifi ek vætr, þo at laufa
leikstærir mer tæri
hrostatjorn i horni,
horns, til dags at morni [note 1]
