36. From his shoulders he
lifted the kettle down;
Mjöllnir hurled forth
towards the savage crew,
and slew
all the mountain-giants,
who with Hýmir
had him pursued.
37. Long they had not journeyed
when of Hlorridi's goats
one lay down
half-dead before the car.
It from the pole had sprung
across the trace;
but the false Loki
was of this the cause.
38. Now ye have heard,
for what fabulist can
more fully tell
what indemnity
he from the giant got:
he paid for it
with his children both.5
39. In his strength exulting
he to the gods' counsel came,
and had the kettle,
which Hýmir had possessed,
out of which every god
shall beer with Ægir drink
at every harvest-tide.
