 * They say 'neath the arms, of the giant of ice


 * grew man-child and maid together


 * And foot with foot, did the wise one fashion


 * A son that six head bore.


 * Eighth anwer me well, if wise thou art called,


 * If thou knowest it, Vafthruthnir, now:


 * What farthest back, dost thou bear in mind?


 * For wide is thy wisdom, giant!


 * Winters unmeasured, ere earth was made


 * Was the birth of Bergelmir


 * This first knew I well, when the giant wise


 * In a boat of old was borne.


 * Ninth answer me well, if wise thou art called


 * If thou knowest it, Vafthruthnir, now:


 * Whence comes the wind, that fares o'er the waves


 * Yet never itself is seen?


 * In an eagle's guise, at the end of heaven


 * Hraesvelg sits, they say


 * And from his wings, does the wind comes forth


 * To move o'er the world of men.
