[45]. To the flames she gave all | who yet were within,

And from Myrkheim had come | from the murder of Gunnar;

The timbers old fell, | the temple was in flames,

The dwelling of the Buthlungs, | and the shield-maids burned,

They were slain in the house, | in the hot flames they sank.

[46]. Now the tale is all told, | nor in later time

Will a woman in byrnie | avenge so her brothers;

The fair one to three | of the kings of the folk

Brought the doom of death | ere herself she died.

Still more is told in the Greenland ballad of Atli. [[480]]
