‘The bishop asked the surf-flame [GOLD > ?] about it very soon: ‘Why are you so fickle in words, maple of the land of the snake [GOLD > MAN]?’ The man was not slow in answering what was asked: ‘The lady whom I mentioned before, sir, is more precious than angels’.’
notes and context
[1-2]: As Jón Helgason pointed out in his edn, the first two ll. of the st. are severely corrupted.
