14726But what will preserve this abode when Surtur''s fire consumes heaven and earth?
14726But who is he,asked Gangler,"that causes her this anxiety?"
14726But with what did he begin, or what was the beginning of things?
14726Hast thou had success as well as labour? 14726 Hast thou not been told that the gods made a bridge from earth to heaven, and called it Bifrost?
14726How did the race of Ymir spread itself?
14726How doth All- father regulate the course of the sun and moon?
14726How goes it with the Æsir? 14726 How will the swarthy dwarf afford us aid?"
14726I have not heard before of Ragnarok,said Gangler;"what hast thou to tell me about it?"
14726I must now ask thee,said Gangler,"who are the gods that men are bound to believe in?"
14726I must now ask,said Gangler,"which is the path leading from earth to heaven?"
14726Knowest thou whether we can get the liquor- boiler?
14726Of what wouldst thou ask me? 14726 Tell me now,"said Gangler,"which are the goddesses?"
14726Thou tellest me many wonderful things of heaven,said Gangler,"but what other homesteads are to be seen there?"
14726Verily,said Gangler,"it was a famous exploit which Thor performed on that journey, but did any other such events take place among the Æsir?"
14726Was there,asked Gangler,"any kind of equality or any degree of good understanding between these two races?"
14726What can a foot to a foot give; or, grown to the body, one hand the other?
14726What did All- father do after Asgard was made?
14726What hast thou to say,demanded Gangler,"of Skidbladnir, which thou toldst me was the best of ships?
14726What have the heroes to drink,said Gangler,"in sufficient quantity to correspond to their plentiful supply of meat: do they only drink water?"
14726What is most noteworthy in this country? 14726 What is there remarkable in regard to that place?"
14726What man is this, to me unknown, who has for me increased an irksome course? 14726 What more wonders hast thou to tell me,"said Gangler,"concerning the ash?"
14726What thinkest thou the woman[102] means, by sending us a ring in a wolf''s clothing wrapt? 14726 Whence come these wolves?"
14726Where dwelt Ymir, and on what did he live?
14726Where is this God?
14726Where,asked Gangler,"is the chief or holiest seat of the gods?"
14726Who are the men that on the rings''possessor have laid bonds? 14726 Why are so piercing Freyia''s looks?
14726Why have ye Hniflungs such wrathful countenances?
14726Why sit ye here? 14726 Why wilt thou, young Kon: tame the birds?
14726Will any of the gods survive, and will there be any longer a heaven and an earth?
14726Wilt thou do half the work with me, either the whales home to the dwelling bear, or the boat fast bind?
14726Wilt thou the prince for his wealth circumvent? 14726 [ 130]"But tell me,"said Gangler,"does fire burn over Bifrost?"
14726''But,''she added,''thou hast not death''s hue on thee, why then ridest them here on the way to Hel?''
14726( Where are now the bones of the famous and wise goldsmith Weland?
14726*** She then inquired who would go the steeds to saddle, the chariot to drive, on horseback ride, the hawk let fly, arrows shoot from the yew bow?
1472617. Who is this of the Alfar''s, or of the Æsir''s sons, or of the wise Vanir''s?
147262. Who is the churl of churls, that cries across the water?
147265. Who has incited thee?
14726A guest is come in: where shall he sit?
14726A tree withers that on a hill- top stands; protects it neither bark nor leaves: such is the man whom no one favours: why should he live long?
14726And the giant Vafthrûdnir, when Gangrad asked,''Whence came Orgelmir the first of the sons of giants?''
14726Art thou awake, Thor?
14726Atli oft inquired whither his boys were gone to play, as he nowhere saw them?
14726Brynhild answered:"Why shall I go on along with thee in this more than in anything else?"
14726But Skrymir sat up, and stroking his cheek, said--"''Are there any birds perched on this tree?
14726But are there any more of them besides those you have already mentioned?"
14726But how do the heroes pass their time when they are not drinking?"
14726But how is the earth fashioned?"
14726But how was the fetter smithied?"
14726But tell me, did Thor ever avenge this affront?"
14726But was he not punished for these crimes?"
14726But what didst thou, Thor?
14726But what hast thou done with my glove?''
14726But who owns this skiff, which by the strand thou holdest?
14726Can I get there to- day?
14726Carest thou this to know?
14726Carest thou this to know?
14726For whom are those benches strewed o''er with rings, those costly couches o''erlaid with gold?"
14726For whom will vengeance be the easier to appease, if the son lives?"
14726Gangler thus began his discourse:--"''Who is the first, or eldest of the gods?"
14726Gudrun asked why she did so?
14726Gudrun said:"It is premature to glory in that: this forebodes something; but what instigates thee against us?"
14726Gunnar his head then turned, and to Hogni said:"What counselest thou, bold warrior?
14726Has the sea him deluded, or the sword wounded?
14726Hast thou Hlorridi''s hammer hidden?"
14726Hast thou last night with corpses lain?
14726Hast thou perchance seen him pass this way?''
14726Hast thou seen Sigrlinn, Svafnir''s daughter, of maidens fairest, in her pleasant home?
14726Hast thou sorrow in thy heart?
14726Helgi then of Hiorleif asked:"Hast thou mustered the valiant people?"
14726How art thou called?
14726How art thou named?
14726How did your women prove towards you?
14726How do men call thee?
14726How do thy kindred call thee?
14726How fares it with thee, Thor?''
14726How for happiness shall hereafter be this affinity?
14726How goes it with the Alfar?
14726How is it with the Æsir?
14726How with the Alfar?
14726Hrimgerd, Hati''s daughter, said: 12. Who are the chieftains in Hatafiord?
14726I shall be Giuki''s guest, and I shall thence depart: what will next my life befall?
14726I will now just mention, how that fair youth thy mind corrupted, who thee a necklace gave, and around whom thou thy limbs didst twine?
14726I will yet know who the maidens are, that weep at will, and heavenward cast their neck- veils?
14726If I may indemnify thee, say fully to the king: was it one being only, that saved the prince''s ships, or went many together?
14726If thou hast no father like the sons of men, by what wonder art thou begotten?
14726In the air aloft what glideth?''
14726Is the wise king of the land at home?
14726Is there no other ship as good or as large?"
14726Knowest thou how to grave them?
14726Knowest thou not, Eldir, that if we two with bitter words contend, I shall be rich in answers, if thou sayest too much?
14726Knowest thou that I gave to those I ought not-- victory to cowards?
14726Odin said,"Seest thou Agnar, thy foster- son, where he is, getting children with a giantess in a cave?
14726Of what art thou in quest?
14726Once, as she drove out, certain Vanir saw her car in the air, when one of them exclaimed,"''What flieth there?
14726Shall I obtain the damsel?
14726Shall I then with Gunnar form relationship, and with Gudrun join in wedlock?
14726Sigurd applied to him, and asked: 1. Who here inhabits, in these towers?
14726Sigurd said:"Why dost thou shrink back, Gunnar?"
14726Skirnir having reported the success of his message, Frey exclaimed,"''Long is one night, Long are two nights, But how shall I hold out three?
14726Skrymir awakening, cried out--"''What''s the matter?
14726The bold chief they asked, if the Goths''lord would with gold his life redeem?
14726The choicest race of men under heaven?
14726Then demanded the god- born Gudmund:"Who is the chieftain that commands the fleet, and that formidable force brings to our land?"
14726Then said Thrym, the Thursar''s prince:"Where hast thou seen brides eat more voraciously?
14726Then went the powers all to their judgment- seats, the all- holy gods, and thereon held council: who had all the air with evil mingled?
14726Then you had kind damsels there?
14726They the Jötuns questioned, wise seers of the future, whether this might not forebode calamity?
14726This said Gudmund, Granmar''s son: 17. Who is the warrior that commands the ships, and lets his golden banner wave o''er his prow?
14726Thor cried out:-- 1. Who is the knave of knaves, that by the sound stands yonder?
14726To what end is that?
14726To whom does he belong, and what is there to say respecting him?"
14726Understand ye yet, or what?

14726What chieftain has on thee brought this dishonour?
14726What fish is this, that in the river swims, and can not from harm itself protect?
14726What goeth there?
14726What has befallen Helgi, Hiorvard''s son?
14726What has my corslet cut?
14726What injury has Sigurd done thee, that thou the hero wilt of life bereave?"
14726What is it that prevents thy mirth?"
14726What is it to me, although the maiden be of aspect fair?
14726What is that sound of sounds, which I now sounding hear within our dwelling?
14726What little thing is that I see wagging its tail, and snapping eagerly?
14726What man is this, that in my habitation by word addresses me?

14726What now troubles my only son?
14726What of Odin will the life''s end be, when the powers perish?
14726What said Odin in his son''s ear, ere he on the pile was laid?
14726What will then follow?
14726When awakened from her sleep, on what will she chiefly with Sigurd converse hold, which to the prince''s benefit may tend?
14726When to taste beer thou didst constantly refuse, unless to both''twas offered?
14726When wilt thou converse hold with the powerful son of Niord?
14726Whence art thou come?
14726Whence hast thou journeyed?
14726Whence will come the sun in that fair heaven, when Fenrir has this devoured?
14726Where didst thou learn words than which I never heard more irritating?

14726Why dost thou not leave off, Loki?
14726Why hast thou lost that beauteous colour?
14726Why never laughest thou?
14726Why shall I tell thee, thou young man, my mind''s great trouble?
14726Why shall we here desire to listen to that screaming?"
14726Why shouldst thou thy name conceal, unless thou crime hast perpetrated?
14726Why so acute are Borgny''s pains?
14726Why temptest thou me?
14726Why will ye, Æsir twain, here within, strive with reproachful words?
14726Why wouldst thou stretch thy arm across the sound, when there is altogether no offence?
14726Will Giuki''s sons on their relative redden their swords?

14726although three nights by me the chieftain''s bride glad of heart has slept?
14726and me have bound?"
14726and what hath he done to display his glory?"
14726are ye so silent, so reserved, that ye can not speak?
14726as on the mound thou sittest, and watchest all the ways, how I to the speech may come, of the young maiden, for Gymir''s dogs?
14726as thou art wise declared, and many things to know, how that holm is called, where Surt and the Æsir will sword- liquor together mingle?

14726or what most desirable in the Hunnish land?"
14726or"How fares it with thee?"
14726said Gangler;"what is his power?
14726since on the floor thou wilt prove thy proficiency, how that plain is called, where in fight shall meet Surt and the gentle Gods?
14726since on the floor thou wilt prove thy proficiency, how that steed is called, which from the east draws night o''er the beneficent powers?
14726since on the floor thou wilt prove thy proficiency, how the horse is called that draws each day forth over human kind?
14726since on the floor thou wilt prove thy proficiency, how the stream is called, which earth divides between the Jötuns and the Gods?
14726since that thou art pleased to give me?
14726since thou knowest the omens both of gods and men, which omens are the best-- if to fight''tis needful-- at the swing of glaves?
14726speakest thou from the floor?
14726that it was they, who their kin avenged?
14726that of my wickedness I more recount?
14726that thou in Fafnir reddenst thy glittering falchion?
14726that which I will ask thee, and I desire to know: who here holds sway, and has power over these lands and costly halls?
14726thin, glittering- bright, which I have here in hand?
14726thin, glittering- bright, which I have here in hand?
14726though strong, how wilt thou contend with the Huns''deadly wiles?
14726to a joyless being such miseries recount?
14726true what has been told to me, that thou and Volund in the isle together sat?"
14726what await ye in Brunavagar?

14726why from sleep have I started?
14726why hast thou suffered thyself to be incited to take my life?
14726why shall we exchange forms and manners, when on the way we are?
14726why sleep life away?
14726wilt thou further speak?
14726with all forethought, as we hold friendly converse; seest thou of Sigurd those bold achievements, that will highest soar under heaven''s regions?"
14726with dowry purchase the lovely royal daughter?
