GunnLeif Merl I 31VIII/1 — Stór ‘Great’

Stór verða rǫk,         rignir blóði,
hár snarpr at þat         sultr mannkyni.
En inn rauði snákr         eflisk síðan;
fær hann af miklu         mátt erfiði.

Stór rǫk verða, rignir blóði, snarpr sultr hár mannkyni at þat. En inn rauði snákr eflisk síðan; hann fær mátt af miklu erfiði.

Great wonders will occur, it will rain with blood, acute famine will thereupon afflict mankind. But the red snake gathers strength afterwards; he will acquire power from great exertion.
