ǪrvOdd Ævdr 5VIII (Ǫrv 75)/2 — lifði ‘as he lived’

Búinn léz Ásmundr         opt meðan lifði,
málmþings vanr,         mér at fylgja.
Sagða ek karli,         at ek koma mundak
aptr aldrigi;         nú em ek orðrofi.

Ásmundr, vanr málmþings, léz opt búinn at fylgja mér meðan lifði. Ek sagða karli, at ek mundak aldrigi aptr koma; nú em ek orðrofi.

Ásmundr, accustomed to the weapon-meeting [BATTLE], often said he was prepared to follow me as long as he lived. I told the old man that I would never come back; now I have broken my word.
