ǪgmEyb Lv 2VIII (Ǫrv 32)/7 — mun ‘will have to’

Nú mun ek kasta         kápu minni,
þeiri er gör var         af grön jöfra
en hlaðbúin         á hliðar báðar;
mun ek hennar móðr         missa verða.

Ek mun nú kasta kápu minni, þeiri er var gör af grön jöfra, en hlaðbúin á báðar hliðar; móðr mun ek verða missa hennar.

Now I will cast off my cloak, the one that was made from the moustaches of princes, and edged with lace on both sides; exhausted, I will have to let go of it.
