FriðÞ Lv 20VIII (Frið 26)/7 — eigi ‘do not’

Einn mun ek ganga         upp frá ströndu;
þarf ek lítit lið         lofða at finna.
Verpið eldi         í jöfra bæ,
ef ek eigi kem         aptr at kveldi.

Ek mun ganga einn upp frá ströndu; ek þarf lítit lið at finna lofða. Verpið eldi í bæ jöfra, ef ek kem eigi aptr at kveldi.

I will go alone up from the shore; I need little company to find the rulers. Set fire to the compound of the princes if I do not come back this evening.
