The warder of men, the worm's destroyer, Fixed on his hook, the head of the ox
There gaped at the bait, the foe of the gods
The girdler of all the earth beneath.

The venomous serpent
swiftly up To the boat did Thor, the bold one pull
With his hammer the loathly
hill of the hair Of the brother of Fenrir
he smote from above.

The monsters roared and the rocks resounded,
And all the earth,so old, was shaken
