GunnLeif Merl I 27VIII/2 — tungur ‘The tongues’

‘Hann munu tígna         tungur lýða;
sá mun gramr vera         gumnum tíðastr.
Ey mun uppi         ǫðlings frami
ok hans hróðr fara         með himinskautum.

Tungur lýða munu tígna hann; sá gramr mun vera tíðastr gumnum. Frami ǫðlings mun ey uppi ok hróðr hans fara með himinskautum.

The tongues of men will honour him; that king will be the most renowned among men. The lord’s prowess will always be remembered and his glory will travel to the corners of heaven.
