Script ot a decipherment make in the 19th century.  Notice the person making the decipherment thought "Shinaking" compared to  "Sinkee" = "forest" in Delaware and "Sinkop" = "balsum pine" in Ojibwa.

Line 4 & 6 nothing        ,

Line 5 no rhyme            .

This stanza is doubtful.  
The sounds are the Lenape version as recorded.  The Old Norse words usually make the Drottkvaett score better.

.

Maybe the last half of the stanza was just the  historian's explaination, which was copied by recorders.
