GunnLeif Merl II 42VIII/3 — svík ‘deceive’

‘“Trú mér, galti!         Munk heill vesa;
svík ek aldregi         svín í tryggðum.
Fund skulum leggja         ok frið gera;
skaltu einn gera         okkar í millim.”

‘“Trú mér, galti! Munk vesa heill; ek svík aldregi svín í tryggðum. Skulum leggja fund ok gera frið; skaltu einn gera í millim okkar.”

‘“Trust me, boar! I will be honourable; I will never deceive the pig in truces. We will set a meeting and devise a safe-conduct; you alone will determine between us two.”
