Went be with neither chariot
Nor companion at his aid
Dressed as a young boy, to seek revenge
For the treachery he had faced
In the hall of many deceits
Now at daybreak he goes to sea
"Such a lad cannot bear
The cold and reach of my journeys
You speak with confidence and now
We soon will see whether tongue holds truth
And the ox you use as bait
Will lure the senses of the deep..."
It can be said in truth that Thor had tricked both Giant and Serpent, no less than he had been deceived himself.
Though the serpent took the bait
His fate was prolonged
Revenge was swift and the hammer was thrown
Now lain in the deep
