“Thus sang Olfr Uggason: Swiftly the Far-Famed rideth, The Foretelling God, to the fire speeds, To the wide pyre of his offspring; Through my cheeks praise-songs are pouring. Thus sang Thjodolfr of Hvin: The slain lay there sand-strewing. Spoil for the Single- Eyed Dweller in Frigg's bosom; In such deeds we rejoiced. Hallfredr sang thus: The doughty ship-possessor With sharpened words and soothfast Lures our land, the patient.”
