  Svipdag spake:41. "Now answer me, Fjolsvith,  the question I ask, For now the truth would I know:What weapon can send  Vithofnir to seek The house of Hel below?"
  Fjolsvith spake:42.[1] "Lævatein is there,  that Lopt with runes Once made by the doors of death;In Lægjarn's chest  by Sinmora lies it, And nine locks fasten it firm."
  Svipdag spake:43. "Now answer me, Fjolsvith,  the question I ask, For now the truth would I know:May a man come thence  who thither goes, And tries the sword to take?"
