"The Elder Eddas of Saemund Sigfusson; and the Younger Eddas of Snorre Sturleson"


_Vindkald_.
10. Tell me, Fiolsvith! etc., what the grate is called, than which
among the gods mortals never saw a greater artifice?
_Fiolsvith_.
11. Thrymgioll it is called, and Solblindi's three sons constructed
it: a fetter fastens, every wayfarer, who lifts it from its opening.
_Vindkald_.
12. Tell me, Fiolsvith! etc., what that structure is called, than
which among the gods mortals never saw a greater artifice?
_Fiolsvith_.
13. Gastropnir it is called, and I constructed it of Leirbrimir's
limbs. I have so supported it, that it will ever stand while the world
lasts.
_Vindkald_.
14. Tell me, Fiolsvith! etc., what those dogs are called, that chase
away the giantesses, and safety to the fields restore?
_Fiolsvith_.
15. Gifr the one is called, the other Geri, if thou that wouldst
know. Eleven watches they will keep, until the powers perish.
_Vindkald_.
16. Tell me, Fiolsvith! etc., whether any man can enter while those
fierce assailants sleep?
_Fiolsvith_.
17. Alternate sleep was strictly to them enjoined, since to the
watch they were appointed. One sleeps by night, by day the other, so
that no wight can enter if he comes.
_Vindkald_.
18. Tell me, Fiolsvith! etc., whether there is any food that men can
get, such that they can run in while they eat?
_Fiolsvith_.
