- The bird of blood [eagle], happy with its booty, flew a long distance with the wise god, so that the wolf’s father [Loki] was about to rip in two. Then Thor’s friend — heavy Lopt [Loki] had collapsed — was forced to beg Midiung’s mate [the giant] as hard as he could for quarter.
The scion of Hymir’s race [giants] instructed the crew-guider, crazy with pain, to bring to him the maid who knew the Æsir’s old-age cure [Idunn]. The thief of Brising’s girdle [Brisingamen] afterwards caused the gods’ lady [Idunn] to go into the rock-Nidud’s [giant’s] courts to Brunnakr’s bench. (en)
- How can I provide a repayment for the war-wall-bridge [shield]? [I received a well-decorated...] voice-cliff [shield] from Thorleif. I can see the uncertain situation of three god-bold deities and Thiassi on the brightly-finished side of the battle-sheet [shield].
The lady-wolf [Thiassi] flew noisily to meet the commanders of the crew [the Æsir] no short time ago in an old old-one’s [eagle’s] form. Long ago the eagle alighted where the Æsir put their meat in an earth-oven. The rock-Gefn-[giantess-]refuge-[cave-]god [giant] was not found guilty of cowardice. (en)
- Also can be seen on the circle [of the shield], O cave-fire-[gold-]tree [man], how the terror of giants [Thor] made a visit to the mound of Griotun. The son of Iord drove to the game of iron [battle] and the moon’s way [sky] thundered beneath him. Wrath swelled in Meili’s brother [Thor].
All the hawks’ sanctuaries [skies] found themselves burning because of Ull’s stepfather, and the ground all low was battered with hail, when the goats drew the temple-power [Thor] of the easy-chariot forward to the encounter with Hrungnir. Svolnir’s widow [lord, earth] practically split apart. (en)
- Shafts soon began to burn, for the great powers [gods] had shaved them; and the son of Greip’s wooer [a giant] is scorched. There is a sudden swerve in his travel. This is depicted on my mountain-Finn’s [giant’s, Hrungnir’s] sole- bridge [pedestal, shield]. I received the border’s moving cliff [shield] decorated with horrors from Thorleif. (en)
