Harbarth spake: "Shame didst thou win, that women thou slewest, Thor."

Thor spake: "She-wolves they were like, and women but little; My ship, which well  I had trimmed, did they shake; With clubs of iron they threatened,  and Thjalfi they drove off. What, Harbarth, didst thou the while?"

Harbarth spake: "In the host I was that hither fared, The banners to raise,  and the spear to redden."

Thor spake: "Wilt thou now say that hatred thou soughtest to bring us?"

Harbarth spake: "A ring for thy hand shall make all right for thee, As the judge decides  who sets us two at peace."
