GunnLeif Merl II 20VIII/2 — líkar ‘please’

‘Þat Lundúnum         líkar illa;
eykr hon þrimr hlutum         þykka veggi.
Kostar hon keppa         við konungíðnir;
ferr suðr of fjall         frægð af smíði,
en* Tems of borg         tekr at geisa.

‘Þat líkar Lundúnum illa; hon eykr þykka veggi þrimr hlutum. Hon kostar keppa við konungíðnir; frægð af smíði ferr suðr of fjall, en* Tems tekr at geisa of borg.

‘That will displease London; she will increase her thick walls threefold. She will attempt to compete with the king’s exploits; news of the work will travel south over the mountain and the Thames will start to surge around the city.
