GunnLeif Merl I 18VIII/7 — ýmsir ‘now one, now the other’

Þeir víg gera         vatns farveg í,
ok lengi hvatt         linnar berjask.
Mega ormar þar         ýmsir meira
ok ýmsir þar         undan leggja.

Þeir gera víg í farveg vatns, ok linnar berjask lengi hvatt. Ýmsir ormar mega þar meira ok ýmsir leggja þar undan.

They wage battle in the lake’s outlet and the snakes fight each other fiercely for a long time. Now one snake, now the other has the advantage there; now one, now the other takes refuge there.
