And my life's span thereto laid."

Gerth spake:
14."What noise is that which now so loud
I hear within our house?
The ground shakes, and the home of Gymir
Around me trembles too."

15."One stands without who has leapt from his steed,
And lets his horse loose to graze;"

Gerth spake:

Here within our hall;
Though this I fear, that there without
My brother's slayer stands.
