“Gripir the name | of the chieftain good

Who holds the folk | and the firm-ruled land.”

Sigurth spake:

[a]2]. “Is the king all-knowing | now within,

Will the monarch come | with me to speak?

A man unknown | his counsel needs,

And Gripir fain | I soon would find.”

Geitir spake:

[3]. “The ruler glad | of Geitir will ask

Who seeks with Gripir | speech to have.”
