Anon Sól 18VII/5 — ganga ‘to walk’
Munað þau drýgðu á marga vegu
ok höfðu gull fyrir gaman;
nú er þeim goldit, er þau ganga skulu
meðal frosts ok funa.
Þau drýgðu munað á marga vegu ok höfðu gull fyrir gaman; nú er þeim goldit, er þau skulu ganga meðal frosts ok funa.
They experienced sensuality in many ways and had gold for pleasure; now they are repaid, since they have to walk between frost and fire.
notes
[5-6] ganga meðal ‘to walk between’: The reading of 166bˣ. However, it could be argued that the majority reading, ganga milli, meaning ‘to mediate’, gives better sense, or at least as good sense, here.
