Hróksv Hrkv 20VIII (Hálf 70)/6 — aldri ‘shall never’

Sá hefir dagr um mik         daprastr komit
miklu í heimi,         svá at menn vitu.
*Una þykkjumz vér         aldri síðan,
at fylgja máttuma         frændum hollum.

Sá dagr hefir komit um mik, miklu daprastr í heimi, svát menn vitu. Síðan þykkjumz vér aldri *una, at máttuma fylgja hollum frændum.

That day has come upon me, the very saddest in the world, as far as men know. We [I] think that we [I] shall never be happy again that we were [I was] not able to follow [my] loyal kinsmen.
