FriðÞ Lv 1VIII (Frið 1)/2 — seggjum ‘warriors’

Þat mun ek segja         seggjum várum,
at görla mun farit         gamanferðum.
Skulu ei skatnar         til skips fara,
þvíat nú eru blæjur         á blik komnar.

Þat mun ek segja seggjum várum, at görla mun farit gamanferðum. Skatnar skulu ei fara til skips, þvíat blæjur eru nú komnar á blik.

I will tell that to our [my] warriors, that pleasure trips will be completely out of bounds. Men must not go to the ship, because bed-sheets have now been placed on the bleaching ground.
