GunnLeif Merl II 15VIII/3 — búnir ‘prepared’

‘Þeir þjótandi         þrr of hrœra
búnir at berjask         Bretlands eyjar.
Þá mun vakna         viðr inn danski
ok manns rǫddu         mæla sjalfri.

‘Þjótandi, búnir at berjask, of hrœra þeir þrr eyjar Bretlands. Þá mun inn danski viðr vakna ok mæla sjalfri rǫddu manns.

‘Wailing, prepared to fight, they will stir up the three islands of Britain. Then the Danish wood will awake and speak with a man’s actual voice.
