“ Has Jormunrek trodden
With the treading of horses?—
"Black horses and white
In the highway of warriors;
Grey horses that know
The roads of the Goths.—
"Little like are ye grown
To that Gunnar of old days! ”

“ She drave over the firths to the land of King Jonakr, and he wedded her, and their sons were Sorli, and Erp, and Hamdir, and there was Swanhild, Sigurd's daughter, nourished: and she was given to Jormunrek the Mighty. Now Bikki was a man of his, and gave such counsel to Randver, the king's son, as that he should take her; and with that counsel were the young folk well content.
Then Bikki told the king, and the king let hang Randver, but bade Swanhild be trodden under horses' feet. ”
