Is white; a golden crest gleams on his helm:

With Gugner[103] arm’d he rushes on the wolf!

Alas! by Fenris’ jaws Valhalla’s lord

Is seiz’d and swallow’d up!—a morning ray

Of purple shines afar with glimm’ring light—

’Tis Odin’s blood.—Now Frigga in the sky

Is seen wringing her hands, with aspect pale:

She strives grave Vidar’s courage to excite:

Like whirlwind in the midst of vapour forth

She sends her son. Vidar no longer now
