In a light-hearted and successful attempt to calm Hjálmþér’s mood over having lost face in finding the true identities of those formerly enchanted figures with whom he had interacted, not knowing who they were, King Hringr offers him a drinking horn and hospitality, which Hjálmþér finally accepts.
Hjálmþérsrímur IX, 74-7 (Finnur Jónsson 1905-22, II, 65-6) cover the sentiments of this stanza.
