Sín bjó Sifjar rúni
snarla framm með karli
— hornstraum getum Hrímnis
hrœra — veiðarfœri.
Rúni Sifjar bjó snarla framm veiðarfœri sín með karli; getum hrœra hornstraum Hrímnis.
The confidant of Sif <goddess> [= Þórr] quickly brought out his fishing gear with the old fellow; we [I] can stir the horn-stream of Hrímnir <giant> [POETRY].
[2] með karli ‘with the old fellow’: A reference to the giant Hymir, who accompanied Þórr on his fishing expedition, according to several sources; for the variants, see Meulengracht Sørensen (1986). When Hymir is mentioned in Old Norse poetry, the treatment tends to have a comic edge, as here and in ÚlfrU Húsdr 5/1-2.
