35."Hrimgrimnir is he,    the giant who shall have thee
In the depth by the doors of Hel;
To the frost-giants' halls    each day shalt thou fare,
Crawling and craving in vain,
(Crawling and having no hope.)

36."Base wretches there    by the root of the tree
Will hold for thee horns of filth;
A fairer drink    shalt thou never find,
Maid, to meet thy wish,
(Maid, to meet my wish.)

37."I write thee a charm    and three runes therewith,
Longing and madness and lust;
But what I have writ    I may yet unwrite
If I find a need therefor."
