Old West Lausavísa Fragment: The Prize of Courage

(Quasi-hrynhenda, just with 9 syllables per line).

Tveir hrafnar heim í myrkri stefna,

horfa  á velli frá geirs arfi;

óttalausir seggir ósættir

sýndisk þeim ef óetnir týndir.

(“Two ravens make for home in the evening,

turn from the leavings of battle on the plain;

fearless unreconciled warriors

would seem wasted to them if left uneaten.”)
