Svart Skauf 21VIII/1 — varð ‘happened’

‘Þá varð mier litið         í lág eina,
hvar að háfættr maðr         hljóp kallandi.
Fór með hónum         ferlíki mikið
kolsvart að lit;         kenda eg hunza.

‘Þá varð mier litið í eina lág, hvar að háfættr maðr hljóp kallandi. Mikið ferlíki, kolsvart að lit, fór með hónum; eg kenda hunza.

‘Then I happened to see from a fallen tree where a long-legged man was running shouting. A large monstrous thing, coal-black in colour, ran with him; I recognised the dog.
