GunnLeif Merl II 28VIII/1 — þar ‘there’

‘Vaxa þar allir         upp brœðr saman;
erut gjarnir þeir         gótt at vinna.
Refr á móður         ræðr grimmliga;
tapar henni sá         týnir sauða;
es grenbúi         gjarn á ríki.

‘Allir brœðr vaxa þar upp saman; þeir erut gjarnir at vinna gótt. Refr ræðr grimmliga á móður; sá týnir sauða tapar henni; grenbúi es gjarn á ríki.

‘The brothers will all grow up together there; they will not be eager to do good. The fox will attack its mother savagely; that destroyer of sheep [FOX] will kill her; the lair-dweller [FOX] will be eager for power.
