Sæl Grace

 

I hope you don´t mind if I offer a few additional suggestions regarding your translation, in addition to Sarah’s comments, mainly to do with verb tense (on the assumption that your translation is intended to retain the tense of the original text).

Subject: [norse_course] Auðun arrives back at Sveinn´s court

 

 

Auðun arrives back at Sveinn´s court, rather the worse for wear.

 

Hann kømr aptr í Danmörk at páskum, þangat sem konungr er þá staddr.

He comes back to Denmark at Easter, to that place where the king was [is]

present then.

 

En eigi þorði hann at láta sjá sik; ok var í kirkjuskoti ok ætlaði þá

But he didn’t dare to let (anyone) see him; and stayed in the narrow

hallway of the church and intended then

 

til fundar við konung, er hann gengi til kirkju um kveldit.  Ok nú er

to meet with the king, when he went to the church in the evening.  And

now when

 

hann sá konunginn ok hirðina fagrliga búna, þá þorði hann eigi at láta

he saw the king and the  fine-looking [finely attired] king’s men ?, then he dared not

allow (them)

 

sjá sik.  Ok er konungr gekk til drykkju í höllina, þá mataðisk Auðun

to see him.  And when the king went to drink[ing, noun] in the hall, Auðun ate

 

úti, sem siðr er til Rúmferla, meðan þeir hafa eigi kastat staf ok

outside, as custom was [is] on the Rome pilgrimage [for Rome pilgrims],  when [while] they had [have] not cast

staff and sack [scrip]  - - I didn’t understand the last bit here.

skreppu.
