Flóði á frúinnar klæði
fári spent í tárum,
og með angri nógu
ófæltiliga mælti:
‘Sjáðu, in mjúka móðir,
mína þörf og pínu;
mig skulu meinum kvelja
menn og eldi brenna.
Spent fári flóði í tárum á klæði frúinnar, og mælti ófæltiliga með nógu angri: ‘Sjáðu, in mjúka móðir, mína þörf og pínu; menn skulu kvelja mig meinum og brenna eldi.
‘Surrounded with danger, she was flooded with tears [which ran] onto the lady’s robe, and she spoke fearlessly with abundant grief: ‘See, gentle mother, my need and anguish; men are going to torture me with injuries and burn me with fire.’
