Of women most lustful in love,
Since thou thy washed-bright arms didst wind
About thy brother's slayer."
Ithun spake:
18."To Loki I speak not with spiteful words
Here within Ægir's hall;
And Bragi I calm, who is hot with beer,
For I wish not that fierce they should fight."
Gefjun spake:
19."Why, ye gods twain, with bitter tongues
Raise hate among us here?
Loki is famed for his mockery foul,
And the dwellers in heaven he hates."
Loki spake:
20."Be silent, Gefjun! for now shall I say
Who led thee to evil life;
The boy so fair gave a necklace bright,
And about him thy leg was laid."
