So long as I shall live;
Nought of fear | for thy threats I feel,

Fafnir and Regin asked Hreithmar for a share of the wealth that was paid for the slaying of their brother, Otr. This he refused, and Fafnir thrust his sword through the [[363]]body of his father, Hreithmar, while he was sleeping. Hreithmar called to his daughters:

And mighty now is my need!”
Lyngheith spake:
“Though a sister loses | her father, seldom
Revenge on her brother she brings.”
