Slagfith and Egil | the hall found empty,

Out and in went they, | everywhere seeking.

[7]. East fared Egil | after Olrun,

And Slagfith south | to seek for Swan-White;

Völund alone | in Ulfdalir lay,

. . . . . . . . | . . . . . . . .

[8]. Red gold he fashioned | with fairest gems,

And rings he strung | on ropes of bast;

So for his wife | he waited long,

If the fair one home | might come to him.
