[42]. “Lævatein is there, | that Lopt with runes

Once made by the doors of death;

In Lægjarn’s chest | by Sinmora lies it,

And nine locks fasten it firm.”

Svipdag spake:

[a]43]. “Now answer me, Fjolsvith, | the question I ask,

For now the truth would I know:

May a man come thence | who thither goes,

And tries the sword to take?”
