  Speaker 1: it Kvasir's gore and ship of the Dwarfs, Dwarf's mead,

  Speaker 1: I near tinkling scales sang further, the dwarfs Crag's song
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: wave rushes o'er all the dauntless shield host of him
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: who speeds the fury of the shield Wall's piercing sword bane.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Even as oer meer Stein Torsen sang the body of
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the Dame and my dead be borne into one hall
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the drink of dvalin Franklin's here, and as refer sang,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I reveal the thoughts drink of the rock folk to Torstein.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: The billow of the dwarf Crag plashes, I bid men hearken.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Even as Eegiel sang the Prince requires my lore and
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: bound his praise to pour Odin's mead, I bore to
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: English shore. And as gloomer Gyrisen sang, let the princely
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: giver hearken. I hold the god King's liquor. Let silence
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: then be granted while we sing the loss of Thanes.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: And as a vinder sang a hearing, I pray for
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: the high One's liquor, while I uttered Gillinger's atonement, while
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: his kin in the cattle brewing of the gallows Lord

  Speaker 1: to the gods, I trace, Even as a nartinkling scale
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: sang the wave of Odin's surges of Odrerir's see a
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: billow gainst the tongue's song glade crashes. I our King's
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: works are goodly, And as he sang further, now that
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: which Bodin's billow bodes forth will straight be uttered. Let
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the war King's host makes silence in the hall, and
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: hear the dwarf's ship. And as ailifur good runersen sang
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: grant shall ye gifts of friendship, Since grows of sun
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the seedling in our tongue's fertile sedge bank true praise
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: of our high lord. Even as vu lushteine san egiel
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: hear the heart streams of Odin beat and cadence gainst
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: my palates scary the gods spoil to me is given.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Thus sang or mer steintrsen no verse of mine. Men
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: need to fear no mockery. I tertwine in Odin's spoil.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: My skill is sure in forging songs of praise. Thus
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: sang ufer ugusen I show to host glad I liefir,

  Speaker 1: I show to host glad a lifer the heart fiord
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: shoal of odin my song him do I summon to
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: hear the gift a grimner. Poesy is called sea or
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: liquid of the dwarfs, because Kvasir's blood was liquid and
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: oudrerir before the mead was made, and then it was
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: put into the kettle. Wherefore it is called Odin's kettle liquor,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: even as I vender sang, and as we have recorded before,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: while his kin in the kettle brewing of the gallows
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: lord to the gods. I Moreover, poesy is called ship
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: or ale of the dwarfs. Ale is lead, and lead
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: is a word for ships. Therefore it is held that
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: it is for this reason that poesy is now called
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: ship of the dwarfs. Even as this verse tells the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: wit of Gunlud's liquor in swelling wind like fullness, and
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the everlasting dwarf of ship, I own to send the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: same road. Section four. What figures should be employed to
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: paraphrase the name of Thor. Thus one should call him

• 4:38
  Speaker 1: and Thruder, husband of Sif, stepfather of Uller Wielder and

  Speaker 1: with glowing eyes. Thru Deer's father glared at the sea
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: roads circlar Ere. The fish's watery dwelling flowed in the boat,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: confounding Einstein sang further swiftly. Siff's husband bound him to
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: haste forth with the giants for his hardy fishing, while
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: singing we krim near's horn stream. Again he sang the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: earthfish tugged so fiercely that Uller's kinsmen clenched fists were
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: pulled out past the gunwale, the broad planks rent asunder.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Thus sank Broggi, the strong fiend's terrifier in his right
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: hand swung his hammer when he saw the loathly seafish
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: that all the lands confineth. Thus sang Gonley. While the
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: lord of high Bilskirnir, whose heart no falsehood fashion, swiftly
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: strove to shatter the seafish with his hammer. Thus sang
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: tourbiorn ladies scald bravely Thor fought for Asgard and the
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: followers of Odin. Thus sang Broggie. And the vast, misshapen
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: circler of the ship's sea path, fierce minded stared from
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: below in anger at the skull splitter of hrum Near. Again,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: sang Broggie. Well, hast thou Hewer in sunder of the
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: nine heads of Trivaldi kept thy goats. Thus sang i Liefer,
• 7:05

  Speaker 1: fearful peril, called it at the great draft, wondrous heavy
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: drawn up by the lord of he goats. Thus ulfer
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: sang further the very mighty slayer of the mountain man brought,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: crashing his fist on Heimir's temple. That was a hurtful, deadly.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Yet again sang Ulfer. Weimer's Ford's wide grappler against the
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: waves smote feetly the glittering serpent's head off with old tails.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: The hull was gleaming. Here he is called Giant of
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Vimer's Ford. There is a river called Veimer, which Thor
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: waited when he journeyed to the garth of gay Ruder.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Thus sang vet Ledi the skald, Thou didst break the

  Speaker 1: which is called gold bristle, even as it is told
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: here Ivaldi's offspring in ancient days went to shape Skidblodnir
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: foremost of ships, fairly for Frere, choicely for Nider's child.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Thus speaks ulfer ugusen the battle bold Frere rideth first
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: on the golden bristled barrow bore to the bail fire
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: of Bolder, and leads the people. The bore is also
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: called fearful tusk. Section eight. How should one Paraphray's Hindaler
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: by calling him son of nine mothers or watchmen of

  Speaker 1: foe of Loki, seeker of Freya's necklace. A sword is

  Speaker 1: called him Dollar's head, for it is said that he
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: was pierced by a man's head. The tale thereof is
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: told in heim Dollar Galder, and ever since a head
• 11:10

• 11:19
  Speaker 1: of Vagascar and Seingstein, where he contended with Loki for
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the necklace brisinga men. He is also called vindler ufer
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Ugusen composed a long passage in the Housdrappa on that legend,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and there it is written that they were in the

• 14:43
  Speaker 1: it is written that Heimdaler is the son of nine mothers.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Section seventeen. Now an account shall be given of the
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: source of those metaphors which have but now been recorded,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: and of which no accounts were rendered before, even such
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: as Braggie gave to Eager telling how Thor had gone
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: into the east to slay trolls, and Odin rode slight
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: near into Eutenheim and visited that giant who was named Hrungnir.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Krumnir asked what manner of man he with the golden
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: helm might be, who rode through air and water, and
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: said that the stranger had a wondrous good steed. Odin
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: said he would wager his head there was no horse
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: in Eutenheim, they would prove equally good. Krungnir answered that
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: it was a good horse, but declared that he had
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: a much better paced horse, which was called gold main
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Phrungnir had become angry and vaulted up on to his
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: horse and galloped after him, thinking to pay him for
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: his boasting. Odin galloped so furiously that he was on
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: the top of the next hill first, but Hrungnir was
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: so filled with the giant's frenzy that he took no
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: heed until he had come in beyond the gates of Asgard.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: When he came to the hall door, the Eesir invited
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: him to drink. He went within and ordered drink to
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: be brought to him, and then those flagons were brought in,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: from which Thor was wont to drink, and Rumnir swilled
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: from each in turn. But when he had become drunken,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: then big words were not wanting. He boasted that he
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: would lift up Valhalla and carry it to Uttenheim and
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: sink Asgard and kill all the gods, save that he
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: would take Freya and Siff home with him. Freya alone
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: dared pour for him, and he vowed that he would
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: drink all the ale of the Esir. But when his
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: overbearing insolence became tiresome to the Esir, they called on
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: the name of Thor. Straightway, Thor came into the hall
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: brandishing his hammer, and he was very wroth and asked
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: who would advise that these dogs of giants be permitted
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: to drink there, or who had granted Hrumnir safe conduct
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: to be in Valhalla, or why Freya should pour for
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: him as at a feast of the Esir. Then Rumnir answered,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: looking at Thor with no friendly eyes, and said that
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Odin had invited him to drink and he was under
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: his safe conduct. Thor declared that Hrumnir should repent of
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: that invitation before he got away. Hrungnir answered that asa
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Thor would have scant renowned for killing him, weaponless as
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: he was. It were a greater trial of his courage
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: if he dared fight with Hrungnir on the border at Grotunegard.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: And it was a great folly, said he, when I
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: left my shield and hon behind at home. If I
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: had my weapons here, then we should try single combat.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: But as matters stand, I declare thee a coward if
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: thou wilt slay me a weaponless man. Thor was by
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: no means anxious to avoid the fight when challenged to
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the field, for no one had ever offered him single
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: combat before then. Hrumnir went his way and galloped furiously
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: until he came to Eutenheim. The news of his journey
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: was spread abroad among the giants, and it became noised
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: abroad that a meeting had been arranged between him and Thor.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: The giants deemed that they had much at stake, who
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: should win the victory so they looked for ill at
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Thor's hands. If Hrungnir perished, he being strongest of them all,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: then the giants made a man of clay, a Grotunigard.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: He was nine miles high and three broad under the armpits.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: But they could get no heart big enough to fit
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: him until they took one from a mare. Even that
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: was not steadfast within him. When Thor came, Hrungnir had
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: the heart, which is notorious of hard stone, and spiked
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: with three corners, even as the written characterist sins formed,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: which men call Hrungnir's heart. His head also was of stone.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: His shield, too, was stone wide and thick, and he
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: had the shield before him when he stood at Grotunigard
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: and waited for Thor. Moreover, he had a hon for
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: a weapon, and brandished it over his shoulders, and he
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: was not a pretty sight. At one side of him
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: stood the clay giant, which was called mu Kurkhalfi. He
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: was sore afraid, and it is said that he wet
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: himself when he saw Thor. Thor went to the meeting place,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: and Taelfi with him. Then Taofi ran forward to the
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: spot where Hrungnir stood and said to him, Thou standest
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: unwarily giant, having the shield before thee. For Thor has
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: seen THEE and comes hither down below the earth, and
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: will come at THEE from beneath. Then Hrungnir thrust the
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: shield under his feet and stood upon it, wielding the
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: hon with both hands. Then speedily he saw lightnings and
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: heard great claps of thunder. Then he saw Thor in
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: godlike anger, who came forward furiously and swung the hammer
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: and cast it at hung near from afar off, Hrungnir
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: lifted up the hone in both hands and cast it
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: against him. It struck the hammer in flight, and the
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Hon burst in sunder. One part fell to the earth,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: and thence ar come all the flint rocks. The other
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: burst on Thor's head, so that he fell forward to
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: the earth. But the hammer Mulenir struck hrung Near in
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: the middle of the head and smashed his skull into
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: small crumbs, and he fell forward upon Thor, so that
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: his foot lay over Thor's neck. Tielfi struck at Mukharkafi,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: and he fell with little glory. Thereupon, Tilfi went over
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: to Thor and would have lifted Rumnir's foot off him,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: but could not find sufficient strength straightway. All the easier
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: came up when they learned that Thor was fallen, and
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: would have lifted the foot from off him, and could
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: do nothing. Then Magni came up, son of Thor and
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: yarn Saksa. He was then three nights old. He cast
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: the foot of Hrungnir off Thor and spake, See how
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: ill it is, father, that I came so late. I
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: had struck this giant dead with my fist. Methinks if
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I had met with him. Thor arose and welcomed his son,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: saying that he should surely become great, and I will
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: give thee he said, the horse gold mane, which Hrumnir possessed.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Then Odin spake and said that Thor did wrong to
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: give the good horse to the son of a giantess
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: and not to his father. Thor went home to Throo Dvangar,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: and then remained sticking in his head. Then came the
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: wise woman who was called Groa, wife of Arvondil the Valiant.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: She sang her spells over Thor until the hone was loosened.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: But when Thor knew that and thought that there was
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: hope that the hone might be removed. He desired to
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: reward Groa for her leech craft and make her glad,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: and told her these things that he had waded from
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: the north over icy stream, and had borne Arvandrille in
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: a basket on his back from the north out of Euttenheim.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: And he added for a token that one of Arvondil's
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: toes had stuck out of the basket and became frozen.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Wherefore Thor broke it off and cast it up into
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: the heavens, and made thereof the star called Arvondel's toe.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Thor said that it would not be long ere Arvondel
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: came home. But Groa was so rejoiced that she forgot
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: her incantations, and the hone was not loosened, and stands
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: yet in Thor's head. Therefore it is forbidden to cast
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: a home across the floor, for then the hone is
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: stirred in Thor's head. The Odoufer of Vinn has made
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: a song after this tale in the house loom, it
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: says there on the high and painted surface of the
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: hollow shield. Still further, one may see how the Giant's
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: terror sought the home of Giotum, the angry son of Yurd,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: drove to the play of steel below him thundered the moonway.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Rage swelled in the heart of Miley's brother. All the
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: bright God's high mansions burned before Uller's kinsman with hail.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: The earth was beaten along his course. When the he
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: goats drew, the God of the smooth waned forward to
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: meet the grizzly giant the Earth, the spouse of odin
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: straightway reft asunder no truth made Balder's brother with a
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: bitter foe of earth folk. Rocks shook and crags were shivered.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: The shining upper heaven burned. I saw the giant of
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: the boat sailed sea reef waver and give way fast
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: before him, seeing his warlike slayer swiftly the shining shield
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: rim shot neath the cliff ward's shoe soles. That was
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: the wise God's mandate. The war of vulkyries willed it
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: the champion of the waste land. Not long thereafter waited
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: for the speedy blow delivered by the friend of the
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: snout Troll's crusher, he who of breath despoileth Belly's baleful
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: hirelings felled on the shield rim circled the fiend of
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: the Roaring Mountain, the monster of the glenfield, before the
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: mighty hammer sank when the hill Dane's breaker struck down
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: the hideous catiff. Then the hone hard broken, hurled by
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: the ogress Lover, whirred into the brain ridge of Earth's sun,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: that the wedder of steels sticking unloosened in the skull
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: of Odin's offspring stood. There all be sprinkled with Ainride's blood,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: until the wise ale Goddess, with wondrous lay enchanted the
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: vaunted woe rust ruddy from the win god's sloping temples
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: painted on its circuit, I see them clearly pictured the
• 24:10
