GunnLeif Merl I 35VIII/1 — gerisk ‘will come about’

‘Þá gerisk þat         of þjóð Breta,
es þeim enn hefir         áðr of grandat,
at þeir sjalfir sízt         sáttir verða.
Deila þeir of veldi         ok of víða fold;
eru kappsamar         kindir brezkar.

‘Þá gerisk þat of þjóð Breta, es hefir enn áðr of grandat þeim, at þeir sjalfir verða sízt sáttir. Þeir deila of veldi ok of víða fold; brezkar kindir eru kappsamar.

‘Then it will come about for the British people, as has also harmed them in the past, that they themselves will not at all be in harmony. They will compete for power and for the wide territory; the British peoples will be in rivalry.
