No sooner was the supper past,

Thor rose observant of his rite;

The bones within the skins he cast:

But Tialfe’s father at the sight,

Mindful of what before was done,

Quits hastily the festive hearth,

And grasping by the arm his son,

Into the forest leads him forth.

Then Thor, the mighty, cried aloud:

“Why dost thou lead that youth away?”
