The strong one of the gods; | with Thor now speech canst thou get.

And now would I know | what name thou hast.”

The ferryman spake:

[a]10]. “Harbarth am I, | and seldom I hide my name.”

Thor spake:

[a]11]. “Why shouldst thou hide thy name, | if quarrel thou hast not?”

Harbarth spake:

[12]. “And though I had a quarrel, | from such as thou art

Yet none the less | my life would I guard,

Unless I be doomed to die.”
