Morning they named, | and the waning moon,
Night and evening, | the years to number.
[7]. At Ithavoll met | the mighty gods,
Shrines and temples | they timbered high;
Forges they set, | and they smithied ore,
Tongs they wrought, | and tools they fashioned.
[8]. In their dwellings at peace | they played at tables,
Of gold no lack | did the gods then know,—
Till thither came up | giant-maids three,
Huge of might, | out of Jotunheim.
