Galdralag or “magic spell metre”
From the Eggja runestone, Sogn, Noway c. 700 AD
Hverr of kom Heráss á
hí á land gotna?
Fiskr ór fjanda vim svimandi,
fogl á fjanda lið galandi.
As whom came War-god
hither to the land of men?
A fish from the torrent of enemies swimming,
A bird against troop of enemies screaming.
