      eða líka einhver var að hóa
      undarlega digrum karlaróm;

      eru kannske að smala fé á laun.

      a vixen dashed in the hillock,
      wanting to quench his thirst with blood.
      Or - is it someone calling,
      strangely, with a harsh male voice?
      Outlawed men, in the vast waste land
      are secretly guarding their stolen sheep.
