And in the cave Thor found himself alone:

His hammer in his bosom lay; at once

He recognized the fatal weapon. Tialfe

Lay slumb’ring by his side: in heaps around

The giants’ bodies strew’d, all drench’d with gore;

Bore witness to the prowess he display’d.

Thor now again ascends to Valaskialf:

The Vala’s revelation he imparts

To Odin: Odin and the Asar all

Silent remain, immers’d in thought profound!
