GunnLeif Merl II 39VIII/6 — vargi ‘the wolf’

‘En í fjalli felsk         fádyggt hǫfuð;
hyggr færtǫpuðr         flærð at œxla.
En villigǫltr         vargi ok birni
segir sárliga         sorg ok missu.

‘En fádyggt hǫfuð felsk í fjalli; færtǫpuðr hyggr at œxla flærð. En villigǫltr segir vargi ok birni sárliga sorg ok missu.

‘But the untrustworthy person will hide in the mountain; the sheep-destroyer [FOX] will intend to add to his deception. And the wild boar will tell the wolf and the bear of his grievous sorrow and loss.
