Anon Sól 53VII/3 — ek ‘I’

Frá því er at segja,        hvat ek fyrst um sá,
        þá er ek var í kvölheima kominn;
sviðnir fuglar,        er sálir váru,
        flugu svá margir sem mý.

Frá því er at segja, hvat ek fyrst um sá, þá er ek var kominn í kvölheima; sviðnir fuglar, er sálir váru, flugu svá margir sem mý.

It must be related what I saw first when I came into the worlds of torment; singed birds, which were souls, flew as many as midges.
