GunnLeif Merl I 94VIII/2 — þessum ‘these’

Þau eru ǫnnur ljóð         upp frá þessum;
†alvisk† eigi         auðs berdraugar
— biðk þjóðir þess —         við þenna brag,
þó at ek mynt hafa         mál at hætti,
þeims spár fyrir         spjǫllum rakði
malmþings hvǫtuðr,         í mǫrgum stað.

Þau eru ǫnnur ljóð upp frá þessum; berdraugar auðs †alvisk† eigi við þenna brag — biðk þjóðir þess —, þó at ek hafa mynt mál í mǫrgum stað at hætti, þeims hvǫtuðr malmþings rakði fyrir spár spjǫllum.

There are other songs following on from these; may bearing logs of wealth [MEN] not … with this poem — this I ask of people —, although I have formed my sayings in many a place after the style in which the whetter of the metal-meeting [BATTLE > WARRIOR = Merlin] recited prophecies in speeches.
