Of Bolverk they asked,    were he back midst the gods,
Or had Suttung slain him there?

110.On his ring swore Othin    the oath, methinks;
Who now his troth shall trust?
Suttung's betrayal    he sought with drink,
And Gunnloth to grief he left.

111.It is time to chant    from the chanter's stool;
By the wells of Urth I was,
I saw and was silent,    I saw and thought,
And heard the speech of Hor.
(Of runes heard I words,    nor were counsels wanting,
At the hall of Hor,
In the hall of Hor;
Such was the speech I heard.)
