GunnLeif Merl I 51VIII/1 — gull ‘gold’

‘Þá mun gull snarat         af grasi mǫrgu;
flýtr ór klaufum         kalfs ættar silfr.
Eru fagrbúin         fljóð í landi;
verðrat snótum         siðbót at því.

‘Þá mun gull snarat af mǫrgu grasi; silfr flýtr ór klaufum ættar kalfs. Fagrbúin fljóð eru í landi; siðbót verðrat snótum at því.

‘Then gold will be wrung from many a herb; silver will flow from the hooves of the kindred of the calf [CATTLE]. There will be finely dressed women in the land; there will not be moral reform for the ladies on account of that.
