maid of heaven shall precede.

40. Of Ymir's flesh was earth created, of his blood the sea, of his
bones the hills, of his hair trees and plants, of his skull the
heaven;

41. And of his brows the gentle powers formed Midgard for the sons
of men; but of his brain the heavy clouds are all created.

42. Ullr's and all the gods' favour shall have, whoever first shall
look to the fire; for open will the dwelling be, to the AEsir's sons,
when the kettles are lifted off.[12]

43. Ivaldi's sons went in days of old Skidbladnir to form, of ships
the best, for the bright Frey, Nioerd's benign son.

44. Yggdrasil's ash is of all trees most excellent, and of all
ships, Skidbladnir, of the AEsir, Odin, and of horses, Sleipnir,
Bifroest of bridges, and of skallds, Bragi, Habrok of hawks, and of
dogs, Garm, [Brimir of swords.]

45. Now I my face have raised to the gods' triumphant sons, at that
will welcome help awake; from all the AEsir, that shall penetrate, to
Oegir's bench, to Oegir's compotation.[13]

46. I am called Grim, I am called Gangleri, Herian and Hialmberi,
Thekk and Thridi, Thund and Ud, Helblindi and Har,

47. Sad and Svipall, and Sanngetall, Herteit and Hnikar Bileyg,
Baleyg, Boelverk, Fioelnir, Grim and Grimnir, Glapsvid and Fioelsvid,

48. Sidhoett, Sidskegg Sigfoedr, Hnikud, Alfodr, Valfoedr, Atrid and
Farmatyr; by one name I never have been called, since among men I have
gone.

49. Grimnir I am called at Geirroed's, and at Asmund's Jalk and
Kialar, when a sledge I drew; Thror at the public meetings, Vidur in
battles, Oski and Omi, Jafnhar and Biflindi, Gondlir and Harbard with
the gods.

50. Svidur and Svidrir I was at Soekkmimir's called, and beguiled
that ancient Joetun, when of Midvitnir's renowned son I was the sole
destroyer.

51. Drunken art thou, Geirroed, thou hast drunk too much, thou art
greatly by mead beguiled. Much didst thou lose, when thou wast of my
help bereft, of all the Einheriar's and Odin's favour.

52. Many things I told thee, but thou hast few remembered: thy
friends mislead thee. My friend's sword lying I see, with blood all
dripping.

53. The fallen by the sword Ygg shall now have; thy life is now run
out: Wroth with thee are the Disir: Odin thou now shalt see: draw near
to me if thou canst.

54. Odin I now am named, Ygg I was called before, before that,
Thund, Vakr and Skilfing, Vafudr and Hroptatyr, with the gods, Gaut
and Jalk, Ofnir and Svafnir, all which I believ
