GunnLeif Merl I 52VIII/4 — ránsemi ‘the thieving ways’

‘Sprett es í miðju         mótpenningum;
mun gǫrst gleðu         glatask ránsemi.
Tennr munu gylðis         trausti numnar,
ok léons vargar         verða at fiskum
hvassir hvelpar         hvaltúnum í.

‘Sprett es í miðju mótpenningum; ránsemi gleðu mun gǫrst glatask. Tennr gylðis munu numnar trausti, ok vargar léons, hvassir hvelpar, verða at fiskum í hvaltúnum.

‘There will be a split down the middle of stamped pennies; the thieving ways of the kite will completely come to a stop. The wolf’s teeth will be deprived of their strength, and the lion’s wolves, keen cubs, will become fish in the whale-enclosures [SEA].
