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;
