Boði fell of mik brálla;

Boði fell brálla of mik; geimi bauð heim með sér; þák eigi lǫð lœgis …
A wave suddenly crashed around me; the sea invited [me] home; I did not accept the hospitality of the ocean …
[1] brálla: bráðla B
[1] brálla ‘suddenly’: This is a variant form of bráðla (so B), which is adopted in Skj B and Skald. That form has support only in one ms., however, and the rhyme on the syllables fell and bráll- is better than the rhyme on boð- and bráðl- in this D4-line.
