Sín bjó Sifjar rúni
snarla framm með karli
— hornstraum getum Hrímnis
hrœra — veiðarfœri.
 
‘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].
Leit á brattrar brautar
baug hvassligum augum
— œstisk áðr at flausti
ǫggs búð — faðir Þrúðar.
 
‘The father of Þrúðr <goddess> [= Þórr] stared with piercing eyes at the ring of the steep road [= Miðgarðsormr]; previously the dwelling of the redfish [SEA] surged against the boat.
Svá brá viðr, at sýjur
seiðr renndi fram breiðar
jarðar; út at borði
Ulls mágs hnefar skullu.
 
‘So it came about, that the saithe of the earth [= Miðgarðsormr] made the broad rivetted planks slide forward; the fists of the kinsman of Ullr <god> [= Þórr] banged out on the gunwale.
