Hymiskvitha |
| The mountain-dweller sat merry as boyhood |
| Like a blinded man he seemed |
| The son of Ygg gazed in his eyes |
| For the gods a feast shalt thou forthwith get |
| Word-wielder toil for the giant worked |
| And so revenge on the gods he sought |
| The far-famed ones could find it not |
| And the holy gods could get it nowhere |
| There dwells to the east of Elivagar |
| Hymir the wise as the end of heaven |
| Forward that day with speed thay fared |
| From Asgarth came they to Egil’s home |
| Goats with horns bedecked he guarded |
| They sped to the hall where Hymir dwelt |
| But the other fair with gold came forth |
| Eight fell from the ledge and one alone |
| The hard-hammered kettle of all was whole |
| Forth came they then and his foes he sought |
| The giant old |
| Much sorrow his heart foretold when he saw |
| The giantess' foeman come forth on the floor |
| Then of the steers did they bring in three |
| Their flesh to boil |
| By a head was each the shorter hewed |
| And the beasts to the fire straight they bore |
| From the beast the slayer of giants broke |
| The fortress high of his double horns |
