So long as I shall live;

Nought of fear | for thy threats I feel,

So get ye hence to your homes.”

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:

[10]. “Lyngheith and Lofnheith, | fled is my life,

And mighty now is my need!”

Lyngheith spake:

“Though a sister loses | her father, seldom

Revenge on her brother she brings.”
