[All]: Heiðrekr’s response is (Heiðr 1960, 42): Þar drukku grísir gylti, en hon hrein við ‘There piglets drank from a sow, and she squealed at that’. The H redaction has rather more prose (Heiðr 1924, 80): ‘þat er grísasýr; þá er grísir sjúga hana, þá hrínn hón, en þeir þegja; en eigi veit ek, hvat manna þú ert, er þvílíka hluti gerir svá mjúklega af lítlum efnum.’ Ok nú biðr konungr í hljóði at byrgja skuli hallardyrrnar ‘“that is a sow with piglets; when the piglets suck her, then she squeals, but they are silent; but I don’t know what kind of man you are, when you make such things so adroitly from little material.” And now the king orders in secret that the hall-doors should be closed’.
