That laughing once | of the men she had won.

Brynhild spake:

[16]. “Gunnar, I dreamed | a dream full grim:

In the hall were corpses; | cold was my bed;

And, ruler, thou | didst joyless ride,

With fetters bound | in the foemen’s throng.

[17]. “. . . . . . . . | . . . . . . . .

Utterly now | your Niflung race

All shall die; | your oaths ye have broken.
