Anon (FoGT) 31III/8 — brúðr ‘woman’

Eigi er ván, að vága
viljag hyrjar þilju
eiga orðagnóga
— em eg reiðr — konu leiðaz,
þá er mier, en frá færumz,
forðum, bænarorðum;
sitja verðr og sýta
sig brúðr in óprúða.

Eigi er ván, að viljag eiga orðagnóga þilju hyrjar vága – eg em reiðr – [eg vil] leiðaz konu, þá er mier [kastaði] forðum, en færumz frá bænarorðum; in óprúða brúðr verðr sitja og sýta sig.

It is not to be expected that I will want to marry the loquacious plank of the fire of the waves [GOLD > WOMAN] – I am angry – [I want to] avoid that woman, who formerly [rejected] me, and get out of the courtship; let the inelegant woman sit and commiserate with herself.
