With his hammer the loathly | hill of the hair

Of the brother of Fenrir | he smote from above.

[25]. The monsters roared, | and the rocks resounded,

And all the earth | so old was shaken;

. . . . . . . . | . . . . . . . .

Then sank the fish | in the sea forthwith.

[26]. . . . . . . . . | . . . . . . . .

Joyless as back | they rowed was the giant;

Speechless did Hymir | sit at the oars,

With the rudder he sought | a second wind.
