Kostbera spake:
[18]. “An eagle I saw flying | from the end through the house,
Our fate must be bad, | for with blood he sprinkled us;
. . . . . . . . | . . . . . . . .
From the evil I fear | that ’twas Atli’s spirit.”
Hogni spake:
[19]. “They will slaughter soon, | and so blood do we see,
Oft oxen it means | when of eagles one dreams; [[507]]
True is Atli’s heart, | whatever thou dreamest.”
Then silent they were, | and nought further they said.
