Gestumbl Heiðr 2VIII (Heiðr 49)/8 — at ‘about’

Heiman ek fór,         heiman ek för gerðak,
        sá ek á veg vega;
vegr var undir         ok vegr yfir,
        ok vegr á alla vega.
Heiðrekr konungr,         hyggðu at gátu.

Ek fór heiman, ek gerðak för heiman, ek sá vega á veg; vegr var undir ok vegr yfir, ok vegr á alla vega. Heiðrekr konungr, hyggðu at gátu.

I went from home, I made a journey from home, I saw ways on the way; a way was under and a way over, and a way on all ways. King Heiðrekr, think about the riddle.
