With sword and mace and axe and spear.

From Durdhar's bow five arrows sped

And quivered in the Vánar's head.

He rose and roared: the fearful sound

Made all the region echo round.

Then from above his weight he threw

On Durdhar's car that near him drew.

The weight that came with lightning speed

Crushed pole and axle, car and steed.

It shattered Durdhar's head and neck,
