Ens hindra dags gengu hrímþursar[Háva ráþs at fregna]Háva höllu í;at Bölverki spurþu, ef vǽri meþ böndum kominneþa hefþi Suttungr of soit.
English translation
Came forth, next day, the dread Frost Giants,and entered the High One’s Hall:they asked—was the Baleworker back mid the Powers,or had Suttung slain him below?107, line 2.— Mh. Gv. Mk. G. S. J. agree that this line is an interpolation, as it spoils both sense and metre.107.—Baleworker, the name which Odin had given himself in disguise.
