'Of shield, the ship's bright guard,
To show the praise ''tis time,
Home to my hand is given
The treasure-sender's gift.
Sure hath Skala-glam
To skilful guidance lent
(Speak, ye who list my lay)
The reins of minstrel lore.'

Egil and Einar remained friends so long as they both lived.
But about the shield's fortune at last this is told,
that Egil took it with him to the wedding when he went north to
Broadmoor with Thorkettle Gunnvald's son and Red-Bjorn's sons Trefill and Helgi.
There the shield was spoilt by falling into a tub of sour whey.
After this Egil had the outer ornaments taken off:
and there were twelve ounces of gold in the spangles.
