Thor spake:
[39]. “She-wolves they were like, | and women but little;
My ship, which well | I had trimmed, did they shake;
With clubs of iron they threatened, | and Thjalfi they drove off.

Harbarth spake:
[40]. “In the host I was | that hither fared,
The banners to raise, | and the spear to redden.”
Thor spake:
[41]. “Wilt thou now say | that hatred thou soughtest to bring us?”
