[English translation by W. F. Skene, with comments in German by E. Windisch] [Die Parenthesen rühren ron mir her.] My eyes slumbered in sleep, my spear was with my shield, my sword was in my hand, and my hand under my ear. [In 2b fehlt eine Silbe.] A strange dream (?) happened to me, I set swiftly my dogs [Sg.] on a sow in the plain upon flesh. She was fat to the tusk in her jaw. [Dacheird, focheird ist Verbalform und gehört zum Vorhergehenden.] Thirty feet for me with my shoes, in her side to the beard of her snout ; thirty inches for Finn in her tusk, fat above on her under her hide (?). Large as a caldron was each eye, large as a vessel the hollow beneath (?). My sword hewed in her neck, and my dogs [Sg.] fixed on her ear. Sow of the sea of eastern Tallann, which strikes the rock where the wave touches. My limbs were to me a protection to me strong, as thyself not weak like thee.
