Anon Sól 50VII/5 — var ‘was’

Hörundar hungr        tælir hölða opt;
        hann hefr margr til mikinn;
laugavatn         mér leiðast var
        eitt allra hluta.

Hörundar hungr tælir hölða opt; margr hefr hann til mikinn; laugavatn var mér eitt leiðast allra hluta.

The hunger of the flesh often entraps men; many a one possesses it in the extreme; washing water was alone to me most hateful of all things.
