Loki spake:
[a]46]. “Be silent, Byggvir! | thou never couldst set
Their shares of the meat for men;
Hid in straw on the floor, | they found thee not
When heroes were fain to fight.”
Heimdall spake:
[47]. “Drunk art thou, Loki, | and mad are thy deeds,
Why, Loki, leavst thou this not? [[167]]
For drink beyond measure | will lead all men
No thought of their tongues to take.”
