And all my race;    I am Othin's son,
Meili's brother,    and Magni's father,
The strong one of the gods;    with Thor now speech canst thou get.
And now would I know    what name thou hast."

The ferryman spake:
10."Harbarth am I,    and seldom I hide my name."

Thor spake:
11."Why shouldst thou hide thy name,    if quarrel thou hast not?"

Harbarth spake:
12."And though I had a quarrel,    from such as thou art
Yet none the less    my life would I guard,
Unless I be doomed to die."
