FriðÞ Lv 7VIII (Frið 7)/7 —  ‘now’

Eigi um sér til Alda;
erum vestr í haf komnir;
allr þykki mér ægir,
sem ei*myrju hræri.
Hrynja hávar bárur,
haug verpa svanflaugar;
er Elliði orpinn
ákafligri báru.

Eigi um sér til Alda; erum komnir vestr í haf; allr ægir þykki mér, sem hræri ei*myrju. Hávar bárur hrynja, svanflaugar verpa haug; Elliði er orpinn ákafligri báru.

Alden cannot be seen; we have come westwards into the ocean; the whole sea seems to me as if it were alive with glowing coals. Towering waves topple down, swan-flights [WAVES] build up a mound; now Elliði is tossed in a furious roller.
