GunnLeif Merl II 32VIII/1 — Halda ‘will hold their course’

Halda þeir sunnan         of svalan ægi
Bretlands á vit;         búask til rómu.
En refr hinig         með rekka lið
ferr fráliga         fold at verja.

‘Þeir halda sunnan of svalan ægi á vit Bretlands; búask til rómu. En refr ferr fráliga hinig at verja fold með lið rekka.

‘They will hold their course from the south across the cold sea towards Wales; they will prepare for battle. But the fox will go there swiftly to defend the land with a band of men.
