Anon Mv III 5VII/2 —  ‘…’

Sefi gjörðiz saurlífr;
sárum hugarfár,
lýtanna logi heitr
lerkað fekk þann klerk,
hverja nótt að hann fór
Hrundar á gulls fund
villr yfir vassfall;
váða giekk um hans ráð.

Sefi gjörðiz saurlífr; hugarfár sárum heitr logi lýtanna fekk lerkað þann klerk, að hann fór hverja nótt á fund Hrundar gulls, villr, yfir vassfall; váða giekk um hans ráð.

His mind became lecherous; the mind-danger with bitterness(es) [lit. hurts] the hot flame of sins tormented that cleric, so that he went every night to meet a Hrund <valkyrie> of gold [WOMAN], crazed, across a river; danger threatened his condition.

[2]: The reading of the l. cannot be restored. After sárum (m. dat. pl.) ‘with hurts, with bitternesses’ a word is erased and illegible.
