Anon Brúðv 27VII/3 — skildiz ‘parted’

Síðan náði sverðrjóðr
— sveinninn girntiz vera einn —
skildiz hann við fira fjöld —
fara, þar er auðn var.
Hæstri unni höll Krists
helga sig lagar elgs
hei…, unz önd liet;
endar þar manns sögu kendr.

Sverðrjóðr náði síðan fara, þar er var auðn, hann skildiz við fjöld fira; sveinninn girntiz vera einn. Hei… elgs lagar kendr hæstri höll Krists, unni helga sig, unz önd liet; þar endar manns sögu.

Afterwards the sword-reddener [WARRIOR] managed to go where there was wilderness; he parted from the multitude of men; the youth wanted to be alone. The … of the elk of the sea [SHIP > SEAFARER], belonging to the highest hall of Christ [= Mary], loved to make himself holy, until he gave up life; there the man’s story ends.
