Ásb Lv 2VIII (OStór 3)/1 — Sinni ‘in his’

Sinni má engi         íþrótt treysta;
aldri er hann svá sterkr         né stórr í huga.
Svá bregz hverjum         á banadægri
hjarta ok megin,         sem heill bilar.

Engi má treysta íþrótt sinni; hann er aldri svá sterkr né stórr í huga. Svá bregz hjarta ok megin hverjum á banadægri, sem heill bilar.

No one may trust in his own accomplishment; he is never so strong or courageous. Thus to every man on his death-day heart and strength fail as good fortune fails.
