GunnLeif Merl I 12VIII/7 — sék ‘I see’

‘Sofa þar í dimmu         djúpi niðri
tvennir ormar         tveim hellum í.
Þeir eru lindar         lands ólíkir;
sék rauða seil         rás ok hvíta.

‘Tvennir ormar sofa þar í dimmu djúpi niðri í tveim hellum. Þeir lindar lands eru ólíkir; sék rauða ok hvíta seil rás.

‘Two snakes sleep there in the dark depth down in two caves. Those girdles of the land [SNAKES] are unlike [one another]; I see a red and a white rope of the earth [SNAKE].
