PROSE EDDA
Thus sang Hallr:
- He sated the Heath-Beasts' Hunger:
- The hoar howler in wounds gladdened;
- The king reddened the Wild One's mouth-hairs,—
- The Wolf went to drink of the wound.
And again, as Thórdr sang:
- In blood Gjálp's Stud-Horse waded,
- The dusty pack got fullness
- Of the Greedy One's Wheat; the howler
- Enjoyed the Ravener's Gore-Drink.
