GunnLeif Merl I 57VIII/5 — ræsir ‘The leader’

‘Sá bjartar brýtr         borgir Íra
ok foldar til         fellir skóga.
Gerir ræsir eitt         ríki margra;
tekr léónis         lávarðr hǫfuð.

‘Sá brýtr bjartar borgir Íra ok fellir skóga til foldar. Ræsir gerir eitt ríki margra; lávarðr tekr hǫfuð léónis.

‘He will destroy the splendid cities of the Irish and fell the forests to the ground. The leader will create one kingdom out of many; the lord will take on the head of a lion.
