Much do I know, | and more can see

Of the fate of the gods, | the mighty in fight.

[45]. Brothers shall fight | and fell each other,

And sisters’ sons | shall kinship stain; [[20]]

Hard is it on earth, | with mighty whoredom;

Axe-time, sword-time, | shields are sundered,

Wind-time, wolf-time, | ere the world falls;

Nor ever shall men | each other spare.

[46]. Fast move the sons | of Mim, and fate

Is heard in the note | of the Gjallarhorn;
