Grettir - A necessary feat

The maidservant said: 'Bless me, sister, Grettir Asmundarson is here. He seems quote powerfully built in the chest and is lying there naked, but it amazes me how small he is between his legs. This does not otherwise match his excellence.'

Lonely seamstress, you gossip
that a small sword is all I'm hung with.
You've touched on the truth, you taunting
lass with fondling fingers;
yet a small curled creature, nestling
in the bush of a youthful owner,
may grow many sizes in stature.
