Svart Skauf 23VIII/8 — lífi ‘life’

‘Hann tók á skeiði         skjótt eftir mier;
skundar hvatliga,         og skrefaði stórum.
Hljóp eg fráliga         heldur undan;
leitaða eg við         lífi að forða.

‘Hann tók skjótt á skeiði eftir mier; skundar hvatliga og skrefaði stórum. Eg hljóp heldur fráliga undan; eg leitaða við að forða lífi.

‘He quickly began to run after me; he hurries swiftly and strode with long steps. I rushed rather rapidly away; I tried to save my life.
