 No man Brings it back Unless he gives me Freyja as my bride.

Flew then Loke— The feather-guise whizzed; Out he flew From home of giants, In he flew To home of asas. Met him Thor First of all And thus addressed him:

Hast thou succeeded In doing thine errand? Then tell before perching Long messages; What one says sitting Is often of little value, And falsehood speaks he Who reclines.

LOKE:

Well have I succeeded In doing my errand; Thrym has thy hammer, The king of the giants. No man Brings it back Unless he gives him Freyja as bride.

Went they then the fair Freyja to find, First then Thor Thus addressed her: Dress thyself, Freyja, In bridal robes, Together we will ride To Jotunheim.
