Gripisspo

Hero noble,  hold that sure;Lofty as long  as the world shall live,Battle-bringer,  thy name shall be."
  Sigurth spake:24. "Nought could seem worse,  but now must partThe prince and Sigurth,  since so it is;My road I ask,—  the future lies open,—Mighty one, speak,  my mother's brother."
  Gripir spake:25. "Now to Sigurth  all shall I say,For to this the warrior  bends my will;Thou knowest well  that I will not lie,—A day there is  when thy death is doomed."
  Sigurth spake:26. "No scorn I know  for the noble king,But counsel good  from Gripir I seek;Well will I know,  though evil awaits,What Sigurth may  before him see."
  Gripir spake:27.[1] "A maid in Heimir's  home there dwells,Brynhild her name  to men is known,Daughter of Buthli,  the doughty king,And Heimir fosters  the fearless maid."
  1. ↑ Brynhild ("Armed Warrior"): on her and her family see Introductory Note and note to stanza 19.
