Hymiskvitha - Episode 89
Nov 18th, 2008 by spokenlore
Of old the gods made feast together And drink they sought ere sated they were; Twigs they shook, and blood they tried: Rich fare in Ægir’s hall they found. ~ Hymiskvitha, stanza 1
The goats’ mighty ruler then rose on his knee, And with all the strength of a god he struck; Whole was the fellow’s helmet-stem, But shattered the wine-cup rounded was. ~ Hymiskvitha, stanza 33
The mighty one came to the council of gods, And the kettle he had that Hymir’s was; So gladly their ale the gods could drink In Ægir’s hall at the autumn-time. ~ Hymiskvitha, stanza 41
