Hvat skal ek kalla þetta,         hvar þarftu mér bregða,
konungr, um kvensemi,         kátr, um miðnætti?
En hverja hýsnoppu,         sem þú at heiðum finnr,
viltu, at þér í sinni         sé* allar ….

Hvat skal ek kalla þetta, hvar þarftu mér bregða, kátr konungr, um kvensemi um miðnætti? En hverja hýsnoppu, sem þú finnr at heiðum, viltu at allar … sé* þér í sinni?

What shall I say to this, why do you need to rouse me, merry king, about desire for women at midnight? And every downy-snouted [girl] that you find on the heaths, do you want all … to be in your company?
