Note to Anon Lil 78VII

[5-6] með blindri blíðu blekkiz hold ‘with blind delight flesh is cheated’: Lust or luxuria, the seventh deadly sin, sullies the body. In Náð 96/8, gula or gluttony is called holldzins blijdu ‘delight of the body’ (ÍM II, 23). The word blíða used without modification has exclusively positive connotations.
