And hither I’m come with my sworn brother Frey,

To make thee of ravens the food.

I’ll take hold of thy arms and thy coal-black hair,

And Frey of thy heels behind,

And thy lustful body to atoms we’ll tear,

And scatter thy limbs to the wind.

O spare me, Frey, thou great-souled king!

And, weeping, he kissed his feet;

O mercy, and thee I’ll a courser bring,

No match in the wide world shall meet.
