text and translation
Þrífiz hvárgi Þjassa dóttir
brúðir verstar; brátt skal ek reiðaz.
Rétt skal ek ykr, áðr röðull skíni,
vörgum senda víst til bráðar.
Þrífiz hvárgi {dóttir Þjassa}, verstar brúðir; ek skal brátt reiðaz. Ek skal víst senda ykr rétt til bráðar vörgum, áðr röðull skíni.
‘May neither daughter of Þjazi <giant> [GIANTESS] thrive, the worst women; I shall fly into a rage quickly. I will certainly dispatch you two straight as meat for wolves before the sun shines.’
notes and context
This stanza follows straight on from GrL 2 and is introduced by the remark: Grímr kvað ‘Grímr spoke’.
[5]: MS 471’s reading has been preferred here over that of 343a because the alliteration (on rétt) falls correctly on the first lift of a Type E-line, whereas it falls incorrectly on the second lift in 343a.
