36.Not long had they fared,    ere backwards looked
The son of Othin,    once more to see;
From their caves in the east    beheld he coming
With Hymir the throng    of the many-headed.

37.He stood and cast    from his back the kettle,
And Mjollnir, the lover    of murder, he wielded;
...
So all the whales    of the waste he slew.

38.Not long had they fared    ere one there lay
Of Hlorrithi's goats    half-dead on the ground;
In his leg the pole-horse    there was lame;
The deed the evil    Loki had done.
