Hróksv Hrkv 8VIII (Hálf 58)/2 — þó ‘even’

Skyldi ekki stynja,         þó at stór hlyti
sár í sóknum,         siklings vinir,
né benjar sér         binda láta,
fyrr en annars dags         jafnlengð kæmi.

Vinir siklings skyldi ekki stynja, þó at hlyti stór sár í sóknum, né láta sér binda benjar, fyrr en jafnlengð annars dags kæmi.

The friends of the king should not moan, even if they received great wounds in combat, nor have their wounds dressed, before the same time of the following day arrived.
