Anon Hsv 84VII/5 — her ‘the population’

Dagráðs leita        þarf eigi til dugnaðar,
        sá er vill heilindi hafa;
stundir eigi ráða,        þótt komi stríð um her;
        allar eru tíðir trúar.

Sá er vill hafa heilindi, þarf eigi leita dagráðs til dugnaðar; stundir ráða eigi, þótt stríð komi um her; allar tíðir eru trúar.

He who wants to have good health need not look for a convenient time for aid; hours do not determine whether strife spreads among the population; all times are appropriate.

notes

[5] um her ‘among the population’: Skj B takes Hallgrímur Scheving’s text, þótt komi stríð eða hel ‘if strife or death may come’.
