GunnLeif Merl I 102VIII/5 — Þós ‘Yet’

Varð sú in enska         ætt fyr stundu
veldis missa;         nús valskr konungr.
Þós þeygi enn         þeira hætti
liðit af láði,         né lýðs Breta
hvǫssum mæki         hjarl eignaðisk.

Sú in enska ætt varð missa veldis fyr stundu; nús valskr konungr. Þós þeygi enn hætti þeira liðit af láði, né eignaðisk hjarl lýðs Breta hvǫssum mæki.

The English people had to lose their dominion some time ago; now there is a French king. Yet their character has still in no way vanished from the land, neither has the land of the people of the British been taken over by the sharp sword.
