Anon Sól 33VII/3 — ynðis ‘the delightful ’

Frá því er at segja,        hvé sæll ek var
        ynðisheimi í;
ok inu öðru,        hvé ýta synir
        verða nauðgir at náum.

Frá því er at segja, hvé sæll ek var í ynðisheimi; ok inu öðru, hvé ýta synir verða nauðgir at náum.

It is to be told how happy I was in the delightful world; and the other thing, how the sons of men are forced to become corpses.

readings

notes

[3] ynðisheimi ‘the delightful world’: So 166bˣ, and two other mss. All other mss including papp15ˣ and 738ˣ, have ægisheimi ‘the terrible world’, or variants of it, probably imported from st. 30.
