GunnLeif Merl I 87VIII/6 — hefna ‘avenge’

‘Þá mun illingar         asni ríkja;
sás fljótr taka         fé gullsmiða.
Es lofða vinr         latr at hefna
gylðis barna         gramr ránsemi.

‘Þá mun asni illingar ríkja; sás fljótr taka fé gullsmiða. Gramr vinr lofða es latr at hefna ránsemi barna gylðis.

‘Then will the ass of evil reign; he will be quick to take the property of goldsmiths. The fierce friend of men [RULER] will be slow to avenge the rapacity of the children of the wolf [WOLVES].
