Egil saga - faun

Hefir hon haft langan vanmátt,

Ok þat var kröm mikil;

Fékk hon enga nótt svefn ok var

Sem hamstoli væri.

Ristnar hafa verið rúnar, ok er sá einn bóndason

Heðan skammt í brott, er þat gerdi,

Ok er síðan miklu

Verr en áðr.

Egil reist rúnar ok lagði undir hægendit

Í hvíluna, þar er hon hvíldi;

Henni þótti sem hon vaknaði ór svefni ok sagði

At hon var þá heil.

Skalat maðr rúnar rísta,

nema ráða vel kunni,

þat verðr mörgum manni,

es of myrkvan staf villisk;

sák á telgðu talkni

tíu launstafi ristna,

þat hefr lauka lindi

langs ofrtrega fengit.

Has she had a long weakness,

And it was a great deal of trouble;

She did not get a night's sleep and was

As a hamstole would be.

The carvings have been runes, and he is the only farmer's son

From here, a short distance away, when it did,

Ok is then a lot

Worse than before.

Egil built a rune and laid it down slowly

In the rest, where she rested;

She thought she woke up and said

That she was then whole.

A man shall run up and down,

unless you know how to handle it,

it will happen to many people,

es of myrkvan staf villisk;

sank on counted talc

ten letters carved,

it has onion springs

langs ofrtrega fengit.

Egil built a rune and laid it under his arm

to rest, where she rested.

She thought she woke up

and said that she was well then
