GunnLeif Merl I 74VIII/6 — ór ‘of’

‘Sitr ept hilmi         hafr at lǫndum;
hans esat skilja         skap frá vífni.
Berr hann á hǫfði         horn ór gulli;
es skegg skata         skapat ór silfri.

‘Hafr sitr ept hilmi at lǫndum; skap hans esat skilja frá vífni. Hann berr á hǫfði horn ór gulli; skegg skata es skapat ór silfri.

‘A he-goat will preside over the lands after the king; his temperament cannot be separated from desire for women. He will bear on his head horns of gold; the leader’s beard will be formed from silver.
