Ásmk Lv 3VIII (Ásm 9)/2 — brjósti ‘my breast’

Þá hvarflaði         hugr í brjósti,
er menn ellifu         ofrkapp buðu,
áðr mér í svefni         sögðu dísir,
at ek hjörleik þann         heyja skyldak.

Þá hvarflaði hugr í brjósti, er ellifu menn buðu ofrkapp, áðr dísir sögðu mér í svefni, at ek skyldak heyja þann hjörleik.

Then courage wavered in my breast when eleven men offered violence, until dísir <minor female deities> said to me in my sleep that I should engage in that sword play [BATTLE].
