| Original Old Norse: | Auden & Taylor: | Bellows: | Bray: |
| Þat kann ek it átta er öllum er nytsamligt at nema hvars hatr vex með hildings sonum þat má ek bœta brátt |
I know an eighth: that all are glad of, Most useful to men: If hate fester in the heart of a warrior, It will soon calm and cure him. |
154. An eighth I know, | that is to all Of greatest good to learn; When hatred grows | among heroes' sons, I soon can set it right. |
152. An eighth I know: which all can sing for their weal if they learn it well; where hate shall wax 'mid the warrior sons, I can calm it soon with that song. |
| Chisholm: | Hollander: | Terry: | Thorpe: |
| I know an eighth. It is useful for all who know it, Whenever hatred flares up among warriors’ sons, I am able to quell it. |
That eighth I know which to all men is needful, and good to know: when hatred runs high, heroes among, their strife i can settle full soon. |
I know an eighth which no one on earth could fail to find useful: when hatred waxes among warriors the spell will soothe them. |
155. For the eighth I know, what to all is useful to learn: where hatred grows among the sons of men - that I can quickly assuage. |
| How many wars could we end with this power? | |||
