Anon Sól 69VII/1 —  ‘saw’

Menn ek þá,        er margt höfðu
        gefit at guðs lögum;
hreinir kyndlar        váru yfir höfði þeim
        brendir bjartliga.

Ek menn þá, er margt höfðu gefit at guðs lögum; hreinir kyndlar váru brendir bjartliga yfir höfði þeim.

I saw men then who had given much according to God’s laws; pure candles were being burned brightly over their heads.
