freyja the fair then went they to find
hear now the speech that first he spake:
“bind on, freyja, the bridal veil,
for we two must haste to the giants’ home.”wrathful was freyja, and fiercely she snorted,
and the dwelling great of the gods was shaken,
and burst was the mighty brisings’ necklace:
“most lustful indeed should i look to all
if i journeyed with thee to the giants’ home.”
