text and translation
Hvarf ek frá fögrum fljóða söngvi,
alltrauðr gamans, austr við Sóta.
För skundaðak, ok fórk í lið
hinzta sinni frá hollvinum.
Ek hvarf austr við Sóta, alltrauðr gamans, frá fögrum söngvi fljóða. Skundaðak för, ok fórk í lið hinzta sinni frá hollvinum.
‘I went east in company with Sóti, completely averse to pleasure, away from the beautiful singing of women. I speeded my journey and joined a warband for the last time away from my loyal friends. ’
notes and context
In the Heiðr ms. 2845 this stanza follows from Ǫrv 18 without intervening prose. In R715ˣ the order of Ǫrv 18 and 19 is reversed (see Ǫrv 18 Note to [All]). In the Ǫrv mss, Ǫrv 19 follows Hjálm Lv 11 (Ǫrv 21) as the second of a long sequence of eight stanzas without any intervening prose.
