Svart Skauf 14VIII/4 — vista ‘provisions’

‘Þú skalt ráða,’         segir rebbhali,
‘við mun eg leita         vista að afla.
Þó hafa nornir         þess um mig spáð,
að mier gömlum         glæpaz mundi.’

‘Þú skalt ráða,’ segir rebbhali, ‘eg mun leita við að afla vista. Þó hafa nornir spáð þess um mig, að mundi glæpaz gömlum mier.’

‘You shall have your way,’ says Foxtail, ‘I’ll try to procure provisions. Yet the norns have predicted this about me, that I, the old one, would be enticed into trouble.’
