  1. 48 A ship journeys from the east, Muspell’s troops are coming
  2. over the ocean, and Loki steers.
  3. All the giant-sons advance along with the ravener,
  4. Byleist’s brother goes in company with them.
  5.  
  6. 49 What disturbs the Æsir? What disturbs the elves?
  7. All Giant-land is roaring. The Æsir are in council.
  8. The dwarfs groan before their rocky doors,
  9. wise ones of the mountain wall—do you want to know more: and what?
  10.  
  11. 50 Surt comes from the south with branches-ruin,
  12. the slaughter-gods’ sun glances from his sword;
  13. rocky cliffs clash together and the troll-women are abroad,
  14. heroes tread the hell-road and the sky splits apart.
  15.  
  16. 51 Then Frigg’s second sorrow comes about
  17. when Odin advances to fight against the wolf,
  18. and Beli’s bright slayer against Surt;
  19. then Frigg’s dear-beloved must fall.
  20.  
  21. 52 Then comes Victory-father’s strong son,
  22. Vidar, to battle the Beast of Slaughter;
  23. With his hand he sends to Loki’s son’s heart
  24. his sword to stab: then his father is avenged.
  25.

  27. - Poetic Edda, Völuspá
