2. ‘Why should you visit from Valland,

scatter-brain, my dwelling?

You have, gold-goddess, if you want to know,

gentle lady, washed a man’s blood from your hands.’

Then Brynhild said:

3. ‘Don’t taunt me, woman from out of a rock,

though I have been off with the vikings;

I’ll be thought nobler than you,

wherever folk know our descent.’

The giantess said:

4. ‘Brynhild, you were Budli’s daughter,

born to the worst luck in the world;

you have ruined Gjúki’s children,

destroyed their splendid homes.’
