Svart Skauf 29VIII/4 — ferðir ‘travels’

‘Svó hafa aldri,         síz eg leitaða við,
mier svó tekiz         mínar ferðir.
Það er hugboð mitt,         að hieðan mun eg eiga
skjótt skapliga         skamt ólifað.

‘Svó hafa aldri ferðir mínar, síz eg leitaða við, tekiz mier svó. Það er hugboð mitt, að hieðan mun eg skjótt skapliga eiga skamt ólifað.

‘Thus my travels have never, since I embarked on them, turned out like that for me. It is my premonition, that henceforth I’ll soon [and] deservedly have a short time to live.
