Undr ok argskap ok alla bleyði!
En engi vissi þín þau orð
útan þú einn, ill vættr ok örm.
Undr ok argskap ok alla bleyði! En engi vissi þau orð þín útan þú einn, ill ok örm vættr.
Shame and depravity and all cowardice! But no one knew those words of yours except you alone, evil and wretched creature.
[6] örm: ormr corrected from örm in the margin in another hand 597bˣ, ormr 281ˣ
[5] örm ‘wretched’: Kock (Skald, NN) emends to rǫg ‘depraved’, som duger ‘which fits’, as he says in NN, and is in line with 2845’s prose reading, although traces of the metrical response are not present in this or the U redaction.
