7.

Victory runes shall you know

If you want to secure wisdom,

And cut them on the sword hilt,

On the center ridge of the blade,

And the parts of the brand,

And name Tyr twice.66

8.

Wave runes shall you make

If you desire to ward

Your sail-steeds67 on the sound.

On the stem shall they be cut

And on the steering blade

And burn them on the oar.

No broad breaker will fall

Nor waves of blue,

And you will come safe from the sea.

9.

Speech runes shall you know

If you want no repayment

In hate words for harm done.

Wind them,

Weave them,

Tie them all together,

At that thing68

When all shall attend

The complete court.
