Anon (FoGT) 13III/4 — þínu ‘yours’

Grænn kvað viðr á víði
— varð skrjúpr í því — djúpan:
‘út man eg rýma …
ríkis míns af þínu.
Betr samir bolr með skrauti
blóms en unnir tómar;
skóg man eg upp yfir ægi
angrlestan rótfesta.’

Grænn viðr kvað á djúpan víði – varð skrjúpr í því –: ‘eg man rýma út … ríkis míns af þínu. Bolr með skrauti blóms samir betr en tómar unnir; eg man rótfesta skóg upp yfir angrlestan ægi.’

The green wood said to the deep sea – in that it was weak –: ‘I want to expand the … of my kingdom from yours. A tree-trunk with ornament of blossom looks better than empty waves; I will fasten a forest by its roots up over the sorrow-damaged ocean.’
