FriðÞ Lv 2VIII (Frið 2)/5 — tekr ‘a squall’

Snyðja lét ek ór Sogni
(en snótir mjaðar neyttu)
bræddan byrjar sóta
(í Baldrshaga miðjum).
tekr hregg at herða;
hafi dag brúðir góðan,
þær er oss vilja unna,
þótt Elliða fylli.

Ek lét bræddan sóta byrjar snyðja ór Sogni, en snótir neyttu mjaðar í miðjum Baldrshaga. Nú tekr hregg at herða; hafi brúðir, þær er vilja unna oss, góðan dag, þótt Elliða fylli.

I made the tarred steed of the breeze [SHIP] speed out from Sogn, but the ladies were enjoying mead amidst Baldrshagi. Now a squall begins to strengthen; may those women who desire to love us have a happy life, although Elliði may founder.
