Keth Lv 5VIII (Ket 9)/4 — aldri ‘never’

Mun ek af auði         eigi láta
ok fyr einum þér         aldri renna.
Fyrr skal þér höggvin         hlíf fyr brjósti
ok fyr sjónum         svart at ganga.

Ek mun eigi láta af auði ok aldri renna fyr þér einum. Fyrr skal hlíf höggvin fyr brjósti þér ok at ganga svart fyr sjónum.

I will not give up my wealth, and [I will] never run before you alone. Before that the shield before your breast will be hacked [to pieces], and everything will go black before your eyes.
