Thor spake:
47. "Ill for thee comes | thy keenness of tongue,
If the water I choose to wade;
Louder, I ween, | than a wolf thou cryest,
If a blow of my hammer thou hast."

Harbarth spake:
48. "Sif has a lover at home, | and him shouldst thou meet;
More fitting it were | on him to put forth thy strength."

Thor spake:
49. "Thy tongue still makes thee say | what seems most ill to me,
Thou witless man! Thou liest, I ween."

Harbarth spake:
50. "Truth do I speak, | but slow on thy way thou art;
Far hadst thou gone | if now in the boat thou hadst fared."

[48. Sit: Thor's wife, the lover being presumably Loki; cf. Lokasenna, 54.]

Þórr kvað:
47. "Orðkringi þín mun þér illa koma,
ef ek ræð á vág at vaða;
ulfi hæra hygg ek þik æpa munu,
ef þú hlýtr af hamri högg."

Hárbarðr kvað:
48. "Sif á hó heima, hans muntu fund vilja,
þann muntu þrek drýgja, þat er þér skyldara."

Þórr kvað:
49. "Mælir þú at munns ráði, svá at mér skyldi verst þykkja,
halr inn hugblauði, hygg ek, at þú ljúgir."

Hárbarðr kvað:
50. "Satt hygg ek mik segja;
seinn ertu at för þinni, langt myndir þú nú kominn, Þórr,
ef þú litum færir."
