Ormin Lange [English translation]

"And I shall travel north, to Trollebotten 1

And free thy daughter from evil

So I shall take Olaf's ship

Which is called The Great Serpent"

Åsmund ran onto Olaf's boat,

The one known as The Great Serpent

They called on Torkild Adelfar's2 aid

Now, let the ship set sail

The oars and the golden vane

Guided3 them ashore

It was Åsmund Fregdegævar

He was about to embark on a journey off land

Then they hoist the silky sail

As high up as they could 4

They did not lower the sail

until they spotted Trollebotten

They cast their anchors down

On the white sand

It was Åsmund Fregdegævar

He was the first to set foot on land
