  Speaker 1: prose Edda by Snorri Sturlison, translated by Arthur Gilchrist Brodeur

  Speaker 1: eighteen eighty eight nineteen seventy one. This LibriVox recording is

  Speaker 1: in the public domain recording by expatriate in Bangor, Maine.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: The poesy of Skuld's section forty two Why is gold
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: called Frodie's meal. This is the tale thereof one of
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Odin's sons named Skuldur, from whom the Skuldoungs are come,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: had his abode and ruled in the realm which now
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: is called Denmark, but then was known as Goutland. Skuilder's son,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: who ruled the land after him, was named fried Leifer.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Fried Leiffer's son was Frodie. He succeeded to the kingdom
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: after his father in the time when Augustus Caesar imposed
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: peace on all the world. At that time Christ was born.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: But because Frodie was mightiest of all kings in the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: northern lands, the peace was called by his name wherever
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the Danish tongue was spoken, and men call it the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: peace of Frodie. No men injured any other, even though
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: he met face to face his father's slayer or his
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: brothers loose or bound. Neither was there any thief nor robber. Then,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: so that a gold ring lay long on Yalanger's heath.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: King Phrodi went to a feast in Sweden at the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: court of the king who was called Funier, and there
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: he bought two maid servants, Fenya and Menya. They were
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: huge and strong. In that time two millstones were found
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: in Denmark, so great that no one was so strong
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: that he could turn them. The nature of the mill
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: was such that whatsoever he who turned asked for was
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: ground out by the millstones. This mill was called Grottie.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: He who gave King Rody the mill was named Hengi Keuper.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: King Frodi had the maid servants led to the mill
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and bade them grind gold, and they did so. First
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: they ground gold and peace and happiness for Frodie. Then
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: he would grant them rest or sleep no longer than
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the cuckoo held its peace, or a song might be sung.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: It is said that they sang the song, which is
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: called the lay of Grote, and this is its beginning.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Now are we come to the king's house. The two four.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Knowing Fenya and Menya, these are with Frodi, son of
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: fried Leifer. The mighty maidens as maid thralls held and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: before they cease their singing, they ground out a host
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: against Frodi, so that the sea king called Mizinger came
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: there that same night and slew Frody, taking much plunder.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Then the piece of Frodi was ended. Mizinger took Grote
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: with him, and Fenya and Menya also and bade them
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: grind salt. And at midnight they asked whether missi Anger
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: would not weary of salt. He bade them grind longer.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: They had ground but a little while when down sank
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the ship. And from that time there has been a
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: whirlpool in the sea, where the water falls through the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: hole in the millstone. It was then that the sea
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: became salt the lay of grotee they to the flour mill,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: were led those maidens, and bidden tirelessly to turn the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: gray millstone. He promised to neither peace nor circes till
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: he had heard the handmaids singing. They chanted the song
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: of the ceaseless millstone. Lay we the bins right, lift
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: we the stones. He urged the maidens to grind on
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: ever they sung and slung the whirling stone till the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: men of Frodi, for the most part slept. Then spake
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Manya to the mill coming wealth, grind we for Frodi,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: We grind it in plenty, fullness of fee at the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: mill of fortune. Let him sit on riches and sleep
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: on down, let him wake and weal. Then well tis
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: ground here. May no one harm another, contrive evil, nor
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: cast wiles for slaying, nor slaughter any with sword well sharpened.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Though his brother's slayer in bonds he find, but he
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: spake no words save only this sleep Ye no longer
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: than the whole cuckoo's silence, nor longer than so while
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: one song is sung. Thou wast not Frodi full in wisdom,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Thou friend of men, When thou bodest the maidens didst
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: choose for strength and outward seeming. But of their kindred
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: didst not inquire. Hardy was room near, and his father
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: yet was Tiazi than they, more mighty edy and hour
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: near of us, Twain, our kinsmen, brothers of hill giants,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: of them were we born. Grote had not come from
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the gray mountain, nor the hard boulder from the Earth's bosom.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Nor thus would grind the hill giant's maiden if any
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: had known the news of her. We nine winters were
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: playmates together, mighty of stature neath the Earth's surface. The
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: maids had part in mighty works ourselves. We moved mighty
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: rocks from their place. We rolled the rock o'er the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: giant's roofstead, so that the ground quaking gave before us.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: So slung we the whirling stone, the mighty boulder, till
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: men took it. And soon after in Sweden's realm, we
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: twain foe knowing strode to the fighting bears. We hunted,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and shields we broke. We strode through the gray mailed
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: spear host. We cast down a king, we crowned another.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: To goat horn or good we gave assistance. Now quiet
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: was there ere Canoe. We fell this course we held
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: those years continuous that we were known for warriors mighty.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: There with sharp spears, wounds we scored, let blood from wounds,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: and redden the brand. Now are we come to the
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: King's abode of mercy, bereft and held as bondmaids. Clay
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: eats our foot souls, cold chills, us above we turn
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the peace grinder tis gloomy at Frodie's hands must rest,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the stone must halt enough. If I turned my toil
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: ceases now, may the hands have no remission till Frodie
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: hold the meal ground fully. The hands should hold the
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: hard shafts, the weapons gore stained. Wake thou, Frodie, Wake thou, Frodie,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: if thou wouldst hearken to the songs of us Twain
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: into ancient stories. Fire I see burning east of the burgh.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: War tidings waken a beacon of warning. A host shall
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: come hither with swiftness and fire the dwellings above. King Phrodie,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: thou shalt not hold the stead of Hlider, the red
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: gold rings, nor the God's holy altar. We grasped the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: handle maiden more hardly. We were not warmer in the
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: wound gore of corpses. My father's made mightily ground, for
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: she saw the faintness of men full many the sturdy
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: posts from the flower box started, made staunch with iron grind.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: We yet swifter grind, we yet swifter. The son of
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Irsa half Donner's kinsmen shall come with vengeance on Frodie's head.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Him shall men call RSA's son and brother. We both
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: know that the maiden's ground their might. They tested young
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: and fresh in giant frenzy. The bin poles trembled and burst,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the flower box in sunder bursts the heavy boulder and
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the sturdy bride of hill. Giant spake. We have ground,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: o Phrodie. Soon we cease from grinding. The women have
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: labored o'er long at the grist, thus saying, I narsculasun,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I have heard that Frodie's handmaids ground in the mill
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: full gladly the serpent's couch with gold meal. The king
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: lets peace be broken. The fair cheeks of my axe head,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: fitted with maples, show forth Fenya's grist exalted is the
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: scald with the good king's riches, so saying, eegiel glad
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: are full many men in Phrodie's Meal, Section forty three.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Why is gold called Kraki's seed? In Denmark there was
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: a king called Kroefur Krakie. He was most renowned of
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: all ancient kings for munificence, valor, and graciousness. One evidence
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: of his graciousness, which is often brought into stories, is
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: this a little lad and poor Vugar by name, came
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: into the hall of King Ruefur. At that time the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: king was young and of slender stature. Buger came into
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: his presence and looked up at him. And the king said,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: what wouldst thou say, lad, for thou lookest at me?
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Buger answered, when I was at home, I heard say
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: that Rulfer, the king at Leider, was the greatest man
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: in the northern lands. But now there sitteth in the
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: high seat a little pole, and he is called king.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Then the king made answer, Thou boy hast given me
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: a name, so that I shall be called Huelfir, the
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: pole crocky. And it is the custom that the giving
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: of a name be accompanied by a gift. Now I
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: see that with the name which thou hast fastened on me,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: thou hast no gifts such as would be acceptable to me. Wherefore,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: he that has wherewith to give, shall give to the other.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: And he took from his hand a gold ring and
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: gave it to him. Then Buger said, above all kings,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: be thou most blessed of givers. Now I swear an
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: oath that I shall be that man's slayer who slays thee.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Then spake the king laughing loud Vugor is pleased with
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: a small thing. Another example is the tale told concerning
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the valor of Hroef Krakki. That king, whom men call Adils,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: ruled over Uppsala. He had to wife Irsa, mother of
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Hufer Krakki. He was that strife with the king who
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: ruled over Norway, whose name was Ali. The two joined
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: battle on the ice of the lake called Vaienni. King
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Adils sent an embassy to hulfor Krakki, his step son,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: praying him to come to his aid, and promised wages
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: to all his host so long as they should be away.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: King Rolfer himself should have three precious gifts, whatsoever three
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: he might choose from all Sweden. King Rolfer could not
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: make the journey in person, owing to the strife in
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: which he was engaged with the Saxons, but he sent
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: to Adils his twelve berserks Budvar Biarki was there for one,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: and Hilti the stout hearted fit Zher, the stern Vut Vassetti,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: and the brethren Sleep Dagger and bay Guder. In that battle,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: King Ali fell, and the great part of his host
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: with him and King Adeels took from him in death
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the helm battle Swine and his horse Raven. Then the
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: berserks of hulfri Kraki demanded for their hire three pounds
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: of gold for each man of them, And in addition
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: they required that they might bear to hulf Krakki those
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: gifts of price which they had chosen for him, which
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: were the helm battle Bore and the berney Finn's heritage,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: on neither of which iron would take hold, and the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: gold ring, which was called Pig of the Swedes, which
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Adiel's forefathers had had. But the king denied them all
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: these things, nor did he so much as pay their hire.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: The berserks went away ill pleased with their share, and
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: told the state of things to hulf Krakki. Straightway he
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: began and his journey to Uppsala, And when he had
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: brought his ships into the river Fury, he rode at
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: once to Uppsala in his twelve berserks with him, all
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: without safe conduct. Irsa, his mother, welcomed him and led
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: him to lodgings, but not to the king's hole. Fires
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: were made there before them, and ale was given them
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: to drink. Then men of King Adils came in and
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: heaped fireworth unto the fire, and made it so great
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: that the clothes were burnt off. Rulfer and his men
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: and the fellow spake, is it true that Hulfri Krakki
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and his berserks shun neither fire nor iron. Then Rulfri
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Kraki leapt up and all they that were with him,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: and he said, add we to the fire in Adil's dwelling,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: took his shield and cast it onto the fire, and
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: leapt over the flames. While the shield burnt, and he
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: spake again, he flees not the flames, who o'er the
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: fire leapeth? Even so did his men, one after another,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: and they laid hands on those fellows who had heaped
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: by the fire, and cast them into the flames. Then
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Irsa came and gave hulfor Krakki a deer's horn full
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: of gold, the ring pig of the Swedes being with
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: the gold, and she bade them ride away to the host.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: They vaulted onto their horses and rode down into the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: plain of the fury, and soon they saw King Adils
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: riding after them with his host, all in armor, hoping
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: to slay them. Then ruelfor Krakki plunged his right hand
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: down into the horn, grasped the gold, and strewed it
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: all about the road. When the Swedes saw that, they
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: leaped down out of their saddles, and each took up
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: as much as he could lay hold of. But King
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Adils bade them ride on, and himself rode furiously. His
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: horse was called Slumvir, swiftest of all horses. Then rulfor
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Krakki saw that King Adils was drawing close up to him,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: took the ring pig of the Swedes and threw it
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: toward him, and bade him receive it as a gift.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: King Adils rode at the ring and thrust at it
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: with his spear point and let it slide down over
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: the shaft's socket. Then Rufer Kraki turned back and saw
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: how he bent down and spake. Now I have made him,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: who is mightiest of swedes, stoop as the swine stoops.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Thus they parted for this cause. Gold is called seed
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: of Kroki, or of Firi's plain. Thus sang i vinder
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Skuld despoiler, god of the blade of battle, we bear
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: through Hakon's life days the seed of Fire's valley on
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: our arms where sits the falcon. Even as till Daupher sang.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: The king sows the bright seed corn of knuckles, splendid
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: gold rings with a crop of RSA's offspring in his
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: company's glad hand grasp the guileless land director with kroki
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: gleaming barley sprinkles my arms the flesh grown seat of
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: the hooded falcon. Section forty four. It is said that
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: the king called Hugi, from whom Haloga Land is named,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: was the father of torgerdur Hogabruder. Sacrifice was made to
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: both of them, and a cairn was raised over Hulgi,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: one layer of gold or silver that was a sacrificial money,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: and another layer of mold and stones, Thus saying Scully,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Torstein's son. When I redden rife near's roofbane the ravening
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: sword for wealth's sake. At Svulder, I heaped with gold
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: rings warlike Houlgi's cairn thatch. In the ancient Biarkamal, many
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: turns for gold are told. It says there the king
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: most gift gracious His guardsmen enreched with Fenya's labor with
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Fafnir's mid guard glossier's bright needle, Grannie's fair burden, drought
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Near's deer, dripping down of Grafvitnr. The free handed lord
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: gave the heroes accepted Siff's firm grown tresses, ice of
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: the beaux force, otter gild unwilling, weeping of mardul fire,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: flame of ourun Edie's fine speeches. The warrior rejoiced, we
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: walked in fair garments in Tiazzi's councils, the people's host countless,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: in the Rhine's red metal, wrangling of niflungs, the leader
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: war daring warded bolder not Section forty five. Gold is
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: metaphorically termed fire of the hand, or of the limb,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: or of the leg because it is red, but silver
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: is called snow or ice or hoarfrost because it is white.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: In like manner, gold or silver may be paraphrased in
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: metaphors of purse or crucible or lather, and both silver
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: and gold may be called handstone or necklace of any
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: man who was wont to have a necklace. Necklaces and
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: rings are both silver and gold if no other distinction
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: is raised. As toward Leaikir, the fair sang the kindly
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: prints the load casts of crucibles on the hawk seats
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: of Thanes. The wrists embellished gives embers of the arm joint,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: And as Ininar tinkling scale, sang the land strong king
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: of Lund breaks the golden limb brands. I think the
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Prince of warriors lacks not the rhine's bright pebbles. Thus
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: sang Ininar Sculasen. The purse snow and the sea fire
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: lie on both sides of the axe head. Blood spilling
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: tis my office to praise our foemens scather. And as
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: he sang further, the sea glow each day standeth or
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: the crucible's white snow drift, and the shield ship's cheeks
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: protecting shelters a heart most lavish. Ne'er can one melt
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the silver flagon snow in the fire flame of the
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: eel's stream road. The feller of hosts all feet performeth.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Here gold is called fire of the Eel's stream road,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: and silver snow of flagons. Thus sang towrder miris Skald,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: the glad giver of the hand waste of the gold
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: minister perceiveth that the hermuder of this snake's lair have
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: had a lordly father. Section forty six men is called
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: breaker of gold, even as o tar the swarthy sang
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I needs must use the breaker of the battle glow
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: of good men. Here is the watch war doughty of
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: the wise king assembled or gold sender as Einar tinkling
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: scale sang. The center of gold permitteth the silent earth
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: to hearken to song is gifts. I gather the prince
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: his young men, gladdens gold caster as tor Leiker Sang.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Gold caster makes loyal to him his guard with kingly armor,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Gold's adversary as sang torvaldr blending scald the gold's foe
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: hot coals, casteth of the arm. The king gives red
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: wealth the vile folks desolator dispenseth the freight of Grannie
• 19:29

  Speaker 1: is paraphrased in metaphors of gold, being called willow or
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: giver of gold as Hollerstein sang, he who casts the
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: amber of Vidblindi's boar's cool salt drink long will recall
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: the willow of the reed snake's golden river. Here the

• 20:04
  Speaker 1: giant who drew whales out of the sea like fishes.
• 20:08

• 20:11
  Speaker 1: sea is gold. Woman is the willow or dealer of
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: that gold which she gives, and the willow is a tree. Therefore,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: as is already shown, woman is paraphrased with all manner
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: of feminine tree names. She is also called user of
• 20:26

• 20:29
  Speaker 1: signifies a log, the tree which falls in the forest.

  Speaker 1: gravel break with thy good fortune prop as Ormer stein
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Torsen sang, the prop of stone with clothed in garments,

  Speaker 1: prop beguiled me birch, as Ormer sang, for a mark
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: of the birch of the bright hollow ring the palm

  Speaker 1: o dreadful towering elm tree of the dinning shower of weapons,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Our courage shall not lessen so bade the Linen's Linden
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Man is paraphrased in tree metaphors. As we have written before.

  Speaker 1: He is called rowan or tester of weapons, or of combats,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: of expeditions, and of deeds of ships, and of all
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: that which he wields and tests. Thus sang Ulfer uguson,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: but the flashing eyed, stiff edge rope of the earth
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: stared past the gunwale at the rowan tree of the
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: people of Stone, the giant tester tree and beam, as
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Cormacher sang, the beam of the murdering sword. Twig is
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: taller than are many in the din of darts. The
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: sword wins the land for dauntless Sigurdur Grove, as sang
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: hulfred or troublous scold, the mighty grove and faithful of
