Dreyrga steina þær inar dökku konur
drógu daprliga;
blóðug hjörtu hengu þeim fyr brjóst utan
mædd við miklum trega.
Þær inar dökku konur drógu daprliga dreyrga steina; blóðug hjörtu hengu þeim fyr brjóst utan, mædd við miklum trega.
Those dark women were sorrowfully dragging gory stones; bloody hearts hung outside their breasts, exhausted by great grief.
[1] dreyrga steina ‘gory stones’: If the women of this st. are the same as those of the previous one, then (if mólu was the original reading of 57/6, see Note) the stones here may well be their grinding stones.
