Hvat er þat býsna, er ek sé á bjargi ok gapir yfir eldi? Ek hygg búsifjar okkrar munu batna; líttu á ljóðvega.

[2] er ek á bjargi sé: so 471, er við berg stendr 343a
[2] er ek sé á bjargi ‘which I see on the mountain’: The reading of 471 has been adopted here over that of 343a because the latter is hypometrical.
