Fjolsvith spake:

[44]. “Thence may he come | who thither goes,

And tries the sword to take,

If with him he carries | what few can win,

To give to the goddess of gold.”

Svipdag spake:

[a]45]. “Now answer me, Fjolsvith, | the question I ask,

For now the truth would I know:

What treasure is there | that men may take

To rejoice the giantess pale?”
