GunnLeif Merl I 89VIII/9 — Gervisk ‘will come’

‘Ok Ránar vegr         renn of ósa
Sábrínus sjau;         sék þat fyrir.
En Óskarô         — þat es undr mikit —
mun mánuðr sjau         môttug vella.
Gervisk fiskum         fjǫrtjón at því,
en ór sjǫlfum þeim         snákar verða.

‘Ok vegr Ránar renn of sjau ósa Sábrínus; sék þat fyrir. En Óskarô mun vella môttug sjau mánuðr; þat es mikit undr. Fjǫrtjón gervisk fiskum at því, en snákar verða ór sjǫlfum þeim.

‘And the path of Rán <sea-goddess> [SEA] will run through seven mouths of the Severn; I foresee that. And the river Usk will boil powerfully for seven months; that is a great marvel. Loss of life for the fish will come of that, and snakes will be engendered out of them.
