GunnLeif Merl II 55VIII/5 — þennan ‘this’

‘Hǫfugt es at heyra,         þats of her gerisk;
lifa fénaðar         fyrðar lífi.
Hyggja á þennan         þrágjarnan heim
ok hvers konar         hafna gœzku.

‘Hǫfugt es at heyra, þats gerisk of her; fyrðar lifa lífi fénaðar. Hyggja á þennan þrágjarnan heim ok hafna hvers konar gœzku.

‘It is grievous to hear what becomes of the people; men will live the life of beasts. They will think of this obdurate world and forsake goodness of every kind.
