Vafthruthnir spake:
25."The father of day    is Delling called,
And the night was begotten by Nor;
Full moon and old    by the gods were fashioned,
To tell the time for men."

Othin spake:
26."Fourth answer me well,    if wise thou art called,
If thou knowest it, Vafthruthnir, now:
Whence did winter come,    or the summer warm,
First with the gracious gods?"

Vafthruthnir spake:
27."Vindsval he was    who was winter's father,
And Svosuth summer begat;"
