In Rowland's estimation, several points of the language remain unclear but enough is intelligible thanks to Ifor Williams's work to give a view of a short saga poem in fully Old Welsh guise.

The world cannot express in song bright and melodious Even though the grass and trees should sing All thy glories (miracles, riches), O true Lord!
