LXIII. "What are the simple terms for men? Each, in himself, is Man; the first and highest name by which man is called is Emperor; next to that, King; the next thereto, Earl: these three men possess in common all the following titles: All-Ruler, as this song showeth:
- I know all All-Rulers
- East and south, o'er the Ships' seat
- Sveinn's son in proof is better
- Than any other War-Prince.
Here he is called War-Prince also; for this reason he is called All-Ruler, that he is sole Ruler of all his realm.
Host-Arrayer, as Gizurr sang:
- The Host-Arrayer feedeth
- The wolf and the raven in folk-mote;
- Óláfr gladdens, in Skögul's sharp showers
- Of battle, the geese of Odin.
