GunnLeif Merl I 42VIII/8 — ráða ‘rule’

‘Eru laufviðar         ljósum fjǫtri
takmǫrk gefin         í tali ára.
Munat hann ríkja         of in rǫmmu skǫp
né því inu fagra         fróni ráða.

‘Takmǫrk eru gefin ljósum fjǫtri laufviðar í tali ára. Hann munat ríkja of in rǫmmu skǫp né ráða því inu fagra fróni.

‘Limits are set to the white fetter of the leafy tree [SNAKE] as to number of years. He will not govern the mighty fates nor rule that fair land.
