Sól ek sá; svá þótti mér,
sem ek sæja á göfgan guð;
henni ek laut hinzta sinni
aldaheimi í.
Ek sá sól; svá þótti mér, sem ek sæja á göfgan guð; ek laut henni hinzta sinni í aldaheimi.
I saw the sun; it seemed to me as if I were looking at worshipful God; I bowed to it for the last time in the world of men.
[5] hinzta: inzta all
[5] hinzta ‘the last’: Skj B, Skald, Bugge, Falk and Björn M. Ólsen restore the <h> to mss’ inzta to provide alliteration (Fidjestøl has (h)inzta), though the reading is found in no ms.
