GunnLeif Merl I 60VIII/6 — konungr ‘the king’

‘Verðr af slíku         sverðéls hǫtuðr
himna ferðar         hugþekkr grami.
Ok at þetta líf         þingdjarfr konungr
taliðr es tyggja         tungls með englum.

‘Hǫtuðr sverðéls verðr hugþekkr grami ferðar himna af slíku. Ok þingdjarfr konungr es taliðr at líf þetta með englum tyggja tungls.

‘The hater of the sword-storm [BATTLE > HOLY MAN] will be dear to the lord of the host of the heavens [ANGELS > = God] because of such [deeds]. And the king bold in encounters will be counted after this life with the angels of the lord of the moon [= God].
