 Thus sang Gamli:


 * While the Lord of high Bilskirnir,
 * Whose heart no falsehood fashioned,
 * Swiftly strove to shatter
 * The sea-fish with his hammer.

Thus sang Thorbjörn Lady's-Skald:


 * Bravely Thor fought for Ásgard
 * And the followers of Odin.

Thus sang Bragi:


 * And the vast misshapen circler
 * Of the ship's sea-path, fierce-minded,
 * Stared from below in anger
 * At the Skull-Splitter of Hrungnir.

Again sang Bragi:


 * Well hast Thou, Hewer-in-Sunder
 * Of the nine heads of Thrívaldi,
 * Kept thy goats . ..

Thus sang Eilífr:


 * The Merciless Destroyer
 * Of the people of the Giants
 * Grasped with ready fore-arms
 * At the heavy red-hot iron.
