Horses he rode, | and hounds unleashed,

Swords he handled, | and sounds he swam.

[36]. Straight from the grove | came striding Rig,

Rig came striding, | and runes he taught him;

By his name he called him, | as son he claimed him, [[213]]

And bade him hold | his heritage wide,

His heritage wide, | the ancient homes.

[37]. . . . . . . . . | . . . . . . . .

Forward he rode | through the forest dark,

O’er the frosty crags, | till a hall he found.
