To serve the God how proud they feel,

And court the perils of the fight.

The Lord of Trudvang now design’d

On foot to seek the giant’s lair:

His car and goats he left behind,

Confided to the peasant’s care.

Impatient of delay, he fain

Would march direct to Jotunheim.

They journey on o’er many a plain,

And rivers cross, and mountains climb.
