GunnLeif Merl I 48VIII/10 — sárar ‘grievous’

‘Þá mun hann gjalda         grimmra ráða;
es hans tíundat         tálaukit kyn.
Verðr hann grœna         grund at vinna,
ok hann upp frá því         aldri ríkir.
Tekr hann svá fyr svik         sárar hefnðir.

‘Þá mun hann gjalda grimmra ráða; tálaukit kyn hans es tíundat. Hann verðr at vinna grœna grund, ok hann ríkir aldri upp frá því. Svá tekr hann sárar hefnðir fyr svik.

‘Then he will pay for his savage actions; his treacherous kindred will be decimated. He will have to work the green earth and from that time onwards he will reign no more. Thus he will incur grievous retributions for his treachery.
