GunnLeif Merl II 58VIII/1 — ept ‘after’

‘En grund ept þat         gróða hafnar;
né skúr ofan         ór skýjum kemr.
Sól ok máni         sjǫlf annan veg
fara fagrskǫpuð,         en þau fyrr hafi.

‘En grund hafnar gróða ept þat; né kemr skúr ofan ór skýjum. Sól ok máni sjǫlf, fagrskǫpuð, fara annan veg, en þau fyrr hafi.

‘But the earth will lose its fecundity after that; nor will the shower descend from the clouds. The sun and the moon themselves, beautifully created, will take a different path from the one they have [taken] previously.
