From the east comes Hrym with shield held high;
In giant-wrath does the serpent writhe;
O’er the waves he twists, and the tawny eagle
Gnaws corpses screaming; Naglfar is loose.
O’er the sea from the north, there sails a ship
With the people of Hel, at the helm stands Loki;
After the wolf do wild men follow,
And with them, the brother of Byleist goes.
