Anon Pét 41VII/8 — sannri ‘true’

Skekr nú ráðs og reikar;
rann með varðhaldsmanni
brott, þvíað ástin ótta
ógnstærðan honum færði.
Böl fyr buðlung sólar
bar stríðandi kvíða
hæst, þó hyrfi í fystu
hann frá vizku sannri.

Nú skekr ráðs og reikar; rann brott með varðhaldsmanni, þvíað ástin færði honum ótta ógnstærðan. Stríðandi kvíða bar hæst böl fyr buðlung sólar, þó hann hyrfi í fystu frá sannri vizku.

Now his resolve is shaken and he falters; he ran away with a watchman, because love induced in him fear magnified by peril. The fighter against anxiety [= Peter] bore the greatest woe for the king of the sun [= God (= Christ)], though he turned at first from true wisdom.
