GunnLeif Merl I 7VIII/6 — gerðu ‘achieved’

Kómu til smíðar         spakir vǫlundar
— þats ýtum sagt —         uppi í fjalli.
En, þats drengir         á degi gerðu,
sá þess engan stað         annan morgin.

Spakir vǫlundar kómu til smíðar uppi í fjalli; þats sagt ýtum. En, þats drengir gerðu á degi, sá þess engan stað annan morgin.

Skilful builders came to the work up on the mountain; that is told to men. But what the men achieved by day, nowhere was it to be seen the next morning.
