‘Glíkt mun gaupu grams jóð vesa;

‘Jóð grams mun vesa glíkt gaupu; þat vill steypa þjóð sinni sjalfri. En af þeim sǫkum þermlask Néústría auðgrar jarðar bæði Íra ok Engla, ok numin tígnum.
‘The king’s son will resemble a lynx; it will wish to destroy its own people. And for those reasons Neustria will be stripped of the rich land of both the Irish and the English and deprived of honours.
[6] þermlask: þremlask Hb
[6] þermlask ‘will be stripped’: Þermlask is normalised from the metathesised ms. form þremlask in Skj B (followed by Skald and Merl 2012) and in this edn. This edn follows Skj B (cf. Skald and Merl 2012) in deleting the pron. hann which appears after þremlask in the ms.
