"Thou hast sat and hearkened
As I have told thee
Of many an ill-fate,
Mine and theirs --
Each man liveth
E'en as he may live --
Now hath gone forth
The greeting of Oddrun."
ENDNOTES:
(1) Atli's mother took the form of the only adder that was not
lulled to sleep by Gunnar's harp-playing, and who slew him.
