Hjálm Lv 8VIII (Ǫrv 18)/7 — eigi ‘do not’

Dragðu mér af hendi         hring inn rauða,
færðu inni ungu         Ingibjörgu.
Sá mun henni         hugfastr tregi,
er ek eigi kem         til Uppsala.

Dragðu af hendi mér hring inn rauða, færðu inni ungu Ingibjörgu. Sá tregi mun henni hugfastr, er ek kem eigi til Uppsala.

Take from my arm the red-gold ring, bear it to the young Ingibjǫrg. That grief will [be] fixed in her mind, when I do not come to Uppsala.
