FriðÞ Lv 4VIII (Frið 4)/6 — svölu ‘the cold’

Þat var forðum         á Framnesi;
rera ek opt á tal         við Ingibjörgu.
Nú skal ek sigla         í svölu veðri,
láta létt und mér         lögdýr bruna.

Þat var forðum á Framnesi; ek rera opt á tal við Ingibjörgu. Nú skal ek sigla í svölu veðri, láta lögdýr bruna létt und mér.

It was long ago at Framnes; I often rowed to have conversation with Ingibjǫrg. Now I must sail in the cold storm, make the sea-animal [SHIP] speed easily beneath me.
