[“Swaru's steed]

[Gunnlaug.]
“Swaru's steed
Doth Sigtrygg feed.”

And this is therein also:

“Praise-worth I can
Well measure in man,
And kings, one by one—
Lo here, Kvaran's son!
Grudgeth the king
Gift of gold ring?
I, singer, know
His wont to bestow.
Let the high king say,
Heard he or this day,
Song drapu-measure
Dearer a treasure.”
