Resistless is their power combined; all view them with respect;
Loder, the god of beauty reigns; Hænir, of intellect.
The next to Hænir on the bench the serious Var appears,
Stern awe-inspiring goddess, who the rod of conscience bears;
She hears the oaths of all mankind: whoever breaks his vow,
To Nastrond down she hurls the wretch, to endless wail and woe.
Near her were many vacant seats; Forsete just and stern,
Var’s firmest prop, will not so soon to Valaskialf return:
As soon as Idun was released, down to the earth he hied,
As judge supreme by Urda’s wave the causes to decide.
