Hraungalkn hlumðu, en hölkn þutu, fór in forna fold öll saman; sökkðisk síðan sá fiskr í mar. Óteitr jötunn, er aftr reru, svá at ár Hymir ekki mælti, veifði hann ræði veðrs annars til. - English translation: The warder of men, the worm’s destroyer, Fixed on his hook, the head of the ox; There gaped at the bait, the foe of the gods, The girdler of all, the earth beneath. The venomous serpent, swiftly up To the boat did Thor, the bold one, pull; With his hammer the loathly, hill of the hair Of the brother of Fenrir | he smote from above. The monsters roared, and the rocks resounded, And all the earth, so old was shaken; Then sank the fish, in the sea forthwith.
