- Balder’s brother did not tremble
- Before the greedy fiend of men;
- Mountains quaked and rocks broke;
- The heavens were wrapped in flames.
- Much did the giant
- Get frightened, I learn,
- When his bane man he saw
- Ready to slay him.
- Swiftly the gray shield flew
- ’Neath the heels of the giant.
- So the gods willed it,
- So willed it the valkyries.
- Hrungner the giant,
- Eager for slaughter,
- Needed not long to wait for blows
- From the valiant friend of the hammer.
- The slayer of Bele’s evil race
- Made fall the bear of the loud-roaring mountain;
- On his shield
- Bite the dust
- Must the giant
- Before the sharp-edged hammer,
- When the giant-crusher
- Stood against the mighty Hrungner
- - Prose Edda (Thor and Hrungner)
