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)
