GunnLeif Merl II 57VIII/3 — sér

‘Lifir in danska         drótt at holdi,
gerir eyvit sér         ǫlðri at móti.
Því munu in tígnu         tíðmǫrk himins
ljósi sínu         frá lýð snúa.

‘In danska drótt lifir at holdi, gerir eyvit sér at móti ǫlðri. Því munu in tígnu tíðmǫrk himins snúa ljósi sínu frá lýð.

‘The Danish people will live on meat, do nothing to resist ale-drinking. Therefore the glorious time-markers of heaven [HEAVENLY BODIES] will turn their light away from the nation.
