text and translation
Allar ógnir fær þú eigi vitat,
þær sem helgengnir hafa;
sætar synðir verða at sárum bótum;
æ koma mein eptir munuð.
Þú fær eigi vitat allar ógnir, þær sem helgengnir hafa; sætar synðir verða at sárum bótum; mein koma æ eptir munuð.
‘You will never get to know all the terrors which those who have gone to Hell have; sweet sins turn into bitter compensations; injuries always come after pleasure.’
