‘The prince of the Hords
(Brought peace the third year was made)
The strife to an end; on
The strand steel hit the shields.’
¶ After this peace-making endured the war of the King with the Uplanders three half-years. Thus saith Thiodolf:
‘Hard of the King’s work ’tis
In seemly wise to speak
When to have idle ploughs
The upland men he taught.
The chieftain wise hath honour won
