 Thus sang Eilífr:


 * Wroth stood Röskva's Brother,
 * And Magni's Sire wrought bravely:
 * With terror Thor's staunch heart-stone
 * Trembled not, nor Thjálfi's.

And thus sang Eysteinn Valdason:


 * With glowing eyes Thrúdr's Father
 * Glared at the sea-road's circler,
 * Ere the fishes' watery dwelling
 * Flowed in, the boat confounding.

Eysteinn sang further:


 * Swiftly Sif's Husband bouned [sic] him
 * To haste forth with the Giants
 * For his hardy fishing:
 * Well sing we Hrímnir's horn-stream.

Again he sang:


 * The earth-fish tugged so fiercely
 * That Ullr's Kinsman's clenched fists
 * Were pulled out past the gunwale;
 * The broad planks rent asunder.

Thus sang Bragi:


 * The strong fiend's Terrifier
 * In his right hand swung his hammer,
 * When he saw the loathly sea-fish
 * That all the lands confineth.
