Slew Sokkmimir

48 ‘Broadhat, Broadbeard, Victory-father, Hnikud,
All-Father, Father of the Slain, Atrid and Burden-god;
by one name I have never been known
since I went among the people.

49 ‘Grimnir they called me at Geirrod’s
and Ialk at Asmund’s,
and then Kialar, when I pulled the sledge;
Thror at the Assembly,
Vidur in battle,
Oski and Omi, Equal-high and Biflindi,
Gondlir and Harbard among the gods.

50 ‘Svidur and Svidrir I was called at Sokkmimir’s,*
and I tricked the old giant then,
when I became of Midvidnir’s famous son
the sole slayer.

51 ‘Drunk are you, Geirrod! You’ve drunk too much;
you are bereft of much, of my support,
that of all the Einheriar, and Odin’s favour.
