Notes

This helmet-hole lays bare
the brigand's head of hair.
Perhaps its latest trim
was by an axe's rim?

A translation into German: (LOCH)

Das Loch im Helm
von diesem Schelm
zeigt 'ne Frisur
der Streitaxt pur.

The hole in the helmet
of this brigand
shows a hair-do
purely by battle-ax.

Ránatar/Maivandion on VL provided a translation into Russian: (ВПАДИНА)

Через впадину на шлеме
Видно волосы у вора;
Там, где лезвием так метко
В мозг его вошёл топор.

Through the hollow on the helmet
you can see the thief's hair;
where with blade so accurate
an ax entered his brain.
