Siofna, who over sleep presides,

All hearts to peace and love inclines.

“Folkvangur is the place, methinks.

Most suitable to Roska fair;

From danger, oft I’ve seen, she shrinks,

And fails in strength the shield to bear.”

Thus Thor in disappointment said,

Then from the girl her armour takes:

“Give up thy sword! thou peasant maid!

Such weapons ill become thy sex.
