 Hlödyn, as Völu-Steinn sang:


 * I remember how murky earth yawned
 * With graven mouth for the Sender
 * Of the Gold-Words of the Giant
 * Of the hard bones of Green Hlödyn.

Country, as Úlfr Uggason sang:


 * But the flashing-eyed stiff Edge-Rope
 * Of the Earth stared past the gunwale
 * At the Rowan-Tree of the Country
 * Of Stone, the Giant-Tester.

Fjörgyn, as is said here:


 * I was faithful to the free Payer
 * Of the stream-bed of Fjörgyn's Serpent;
 * May honor be closely guarded
 * By the Giver of the Giant's Stream-gold.

LVII. "It is correct to periphrase blood or carrion in terms of the beast which is called Strangler, by calling them his Meat and Drink; it is not correct to express them in terms of other beasts. The Strangler is also called Wolf.

As Thjódólfr sang:


 * Enough guesting to the Ravener
 * Was given, when the Son of Sigurdr
 * Came from the North, the Wolf
 * To lure from the wood to the wound.
