Thor spake:
21."Thou didst repay good gifts with evil mind."
Harbarth spake:
22."The oak must have what it shaves from another;
In such things each for himself.
What, Thor, didst thou the while?"
Thor spake:
23."Eastward I fared, of the giants I felled
Their ill-working women who went to the mountain;
And large were the giants' throng if all were alive;
No men would there be in Mithgarth more.
What, Harbarth, didst thou the while?"
Harbarth spake:
24."In Valland I was, and wars I raised,
Princes I angered, and peace brought never;
The noble who fall in the fight hath Othin,
And Thor hath the race of the thralls."
