Svart Skauf 27VIII/2 — stafs ‘of the stick’

‘Mier kom á síðu         mikill stafs endi;
mátta eg hvergi         undan hlaupa.
Þá brotnuðu         þrjóts fyrir skafti
um þvert þungliga         þrjú rifin í mier.

‘Mikill endi stafs kom á síðu mier; eg mátta hvergi hlaupa undan. Þá brotnuðu um þvert þrjú rifin í mier þungliga fyrir skafti þrjóts.

‘The large end of the stick hit my side; I couldn’t escape anywhere. Then three ribs broke right across inside me, painfully, because of the shaft of the stubborn one.
