FriðÞ Lv 25VIII (Frið 31)/1 — Gekk ‘went’
Gekk ek því frá garði
grundskjöldunga tveggja,
at ek illsögur ætta
†i enni mina grandvær†.
Nær var ek nála Gunni
við gistingar fundinn;
þat rak mik frá húsi
heldur meir, en skyldi.
Ek gekk frá garði tveggja grundskjöldunga, því at ek ætta illsögur †i enni mina grandvær†. Ek var fundinn nær Gunni nála við gistingar; þat rak mik frá húsi heldur meir, en skyldi.
I went from the courtyard of the two princes of the land, because I might have malicious stories … . I was found near the Gunnr <valkyrie> of needles [WOMAN = Ingibjǫrg] at the night-lodgings; that drove me from the house rather more than it should have.
