Hverr of kom Heráss á
hí a land gotna?
Fiskr ór fjanda vim svimandi,
fogl a fjanda lith galandi.
As whom came the god of war
to the land of men?
A fish from the torrent of enemies swimming,
a bird against a troop of enemies screaming.
—from the Eggjum gravestone, Sogn, Norway (based on translation by Peter Foote & David M. Wilson)
