Anon Mhkv 14III/2 — at

Bráðsét láta bragnar opt;
bregðr at þeim, er heldr á lopt;
allmargr er til seinn at sefask;
svá kǫllum vér ráð, sem gefask.
Ekki var þat forðum farald;
Finnan gat þó œrðan Harald;
hánum þótti sólbjǫrt sú;
slíks dœmi verðr mǫrgum nú.

Bragnar láta opt bráðsét; bregðr at þeim, er heldr á lopt; allmargr er til seinn at sefask; svá kǫllum vér ráð, sem gefask. Ekki var þat farald forðum; Finnan gat þó Harald œrðan; hánum þótti sú sólbjǫrt; mǫrgum verðr nú dœmi slíks.

Men often let things be hastily seen; the one who aims high is transformed; very many a man is too slow to calm down; we judge counsels as they turn out. It wasn’t a malady in the old days; still, the Saami girl drove Haraldr out of his mind; to him she seemed bright as the sun; instances of such happen to many now.
