GunnLeif Merl I 23VIII/7 — áðr ‘prior’

‘Farask mun krístni,         kirkjur falla;
sás harmr hǫfugr;         herr es í landi.
Þá mun enn eflask         in auma þjóð;
áðr es harðla hnekt         hennar kosti.

‘Krístni mun farask, kirkjur falla; sás hǫfugr harmr; herr es í landi. Þá mun in auma þjóð enn eflask; kosti hennar es áðr harðla hnekt.

‘Christianity will vanish, churches collapse; that is a grievous sorrow; the [invading] army is in the land. Then the miserable people will gain strength once more; prior to that their welfare is sorely checked.
