[9]. This Nithuth learned, | the lord of the Njars,
That Völund alone | in Ulfdalir lay; [[258]]
By night went his men, | their mail-coats were studded,
Their shields in the waning | moonlight shone.
[10]. From their saddles the gable | wall they sought,
And in they went | at the end of the hall;
Rings they saw there | on ropes of bast,
Seven hundred | the hero had.
[11]. Off they took them, | but all they left
Save one alone | which they bore away.
