That Tyr can do with one alone.”
Thus said, his dexter hand the youth
Into the wolf’s wide-gaping mouth
Undaunted thrust: the wolf is bound
With the dwarfs’ cord his limbs around.
And now to loose or burst the chain
He struggles hard, but all in vain:
Since naught his utmost powers avail,
The Asar laugh to see him quail.
All laugh’d, excepting Asa-Tyr;
