text and translation
Munkat ek ganga gistingar til,
því at ek engan kann eyjarskeggja.
Segðu hraðliga, áðr heðan líðir:
hvar eru Hjörvarði haugar kendir?
Ek munkat ganga til gistingar, því at ek kann engan eyjarskeggja. Segðu hraðliga, áðr líðir heðan: hvar eru haugar kendir Hjörvarði?
‘I will not go to lodging, because I know no island-beard. Say quickly, before you pass from here: where are the mounds named after Hjǫrvarðr? ’
notes and context
The speaker is clearly Hervǫr, although this is indicated in the prose only in R715ˣ.
