Thor spake:
43."Where foundest thou so foul and scornful a speech?
More foul a speech I never before have heard."
Harbarth spake:
44."I learned it from men, the men so old,
Who dwell in the hills of home."
Thor spake:
45."A name full good to heaps of stones thou givest
When thou callest them hills of home."
Harbarth spake:
46."Of such things speak I so."
Thor spake:
47."Ill for thee comes thy keenness of tongue,
If the water I choose to wade;
Louder, I ween, than a wolf thou cryest,
If a blow of my hammer thou hast."
Harbarth spake:
48."Sif has a lover at home, and him shouldst thou meet;
More fitting it were on him to put forth thy strength."
