Thou wouldst thy wisdom make known:
What name has the field where in fight shall meet
Surt and the gracious gods?"
Othin spake:
18."Vigrith is the field where in fight shall meet
Surt and the gracious gods;
A hundred miles each way does it measure.
And so are its boundaries set."
Vafthruthnir spake:
19."Wise art thou, guest! To my bench shalt thou go,
In our seats let us speak together;
Here in the hall our heads, O guest,
Shall we wager our wisdom upon."
Othin spake:
20."First answer me well, if thy wisdom avails,
And thou knowest it, Vafthruthnir, now:
In earliest time whence came the earth,
Or the sky, thou giant sage?"
