[21]. Then home the goats | to the hall were driven,

They wrenched at the halters, | swift were they to

run;

The mountains burst, | earth burned with fire,

And Othin’s son | sought Jotunheim.

[22]. Then loud spake Thrym, | the giants’ leader:

“Bestir ye, giants, | put straw on the benches; [[180]]

Now Freyja they bring | to be my bride,

The daughter of Njorth | out of Noatun.
