Anon (Heiðr) 4VIII (Heiðr 24)/3 — máli ‘the speech’

Var þá féhirðir         fljótr til skógar
mjök frá máli         meyjar þessar;
en harðsnúinn         hugr í brjósti
um sakar slíkar         svellr Hervöru.

Féhirðir var þá mjök fljótr til skógar frá máli þessar meyjar; en harðsnúinn hugr svellr í brjósti Hervöru um slíkar sakar.

The shepherd then fled quickly towards the forest from the speech of this girl; but the steadfast heart swells in the breast of Hervǫr because of such things.
