Busla Busl 7VIII (Bós 7)/7 — við ‘with’

Sé þér í hvílu         sem í hálmeldi
en í hásæti         sem á hafbáru.
Þó skal þér seinna         sýnu verra,
en, ef þú vilt við meyjar         manns gaman hafa,
villiz þú þá vegarins;         eða viltu þulu lengri?

Sé þér í hvílu sem í hálmeldi en í hásæti sem á hafbáru. Þó skal þér seinna sýnu verra, en, ef þú vilt hafa gaman manns við meyjar, villiz þú þá vegarins; eða viltu lengri þulu?

May it be for you in your bed as if [you were] in burning straw and on your high-seat like on a churning sea. Yet later may it be a great deal worse for you, and if you wish to have a man’s pleasure with girls, may you then lose your way: or do you desire a longer rigmarole?
