Keth Lv 17VIII (Ket 29)/6 — vilda ‘would like’

Ketill ek heiti         kominn ór Hrafnistu;
        þar var ek upp um alinn.
Hugfullt hjarta         veit ek hlífa mér;
        þó vilda ek gisting geta.

Ek heiti Ketill kominn ór Hrafnistu; þar var ek upp um alinn. Ek veit hugfullt hjarta hlífa mér; þó vilda ek geta gisting.

I am named Ketill, come from Hrafnista; there I was brought up. I know that a courage-filled heart protects me; yet I would like to obtain lodging.
