55. Then comes the mighty
son of Hlódyn:
(Odin's son goes
with the monster to fight);
Midgárd's Veor in his rage
will slay the worm.
Nine feet will go
Fiörgyn's son,
bowed by the serpent,
who feared no foe.
All men will
their homes forsake.
56. The sun darkens,
earth in ocean sinks,
fall from heaven
the bright stars,
fire's breath assails
the all-nourishing tree,
towering fire plays
against heaven itself.
57. She sees arise,
a second time,
earth from ocean,
beauteously green,
waterfalls descending;
the eagle flying over,
which in the fell
captures fish.
58. The Æsir meet
on Ida's plain,
and of the mighty
earth-encircler speak,
and there to memory call
their mighty deeds,
and the supreme god's
ancient lore.
59. There shall again
the wondrous
golden tables
in the grass be found,
which in days of old
had possessed
the ruler of the gods,
and Fjölnir's race.
