Across it he bade | the hero come

Who brought me the gold | that Fafnir guarded.

[11]. “On Grani rode | the giver of gold, [[446]]

Where my foster-father | ruled his folk;

Best of all | he seemed to be,

The prince of the Danes, | when the people met.

As he my brother | born had been;

Eight were the nights | when neither there

Loving hand | on the other laid.
