The third god [after Odin] is he who is named Niörthr ; he dwells
in heaven, where it is called Nóatún ; he rules the going of the wind,
and stills the sea and the fire ; on him should men call in seafaring and
fishing. He is so rich and lucky, that he can give to those who ask
him much land or loose-goods. * * * * Niörthr has a wife named
Skathi, the daughter of the giant Thiassi. Skathi would occupy the
dwelling-place of her father ; it is on certain fells, where it is called
Thrumheimr ; but Niörthr would five by the sea. They agreed to
this ; that they would stay nine nights at Thrumheimr, and then other
nine at Nóatún. And when Niörthr came back to Nóatún from the
fell, he chanted this :
| Leið erumk fjöll, | Tired am I of the fell, |
| varka ek lengi, | I was not long there. |
| nætr einar ix.; | Nine nights only ; |
| úlfa Þytr | The wolves' howling |
| mèr Þótti illr vera | Seemed to me ill, |
| hjá söngvi svana. | To the song of the swans. |
| Then Skathi chanted this: | |
| Sofa ek máttat | Sleep I could not |
| sæfar beðjum á | On the sea shore |
| fugls jarmi fyrir; | For the screaming of the bird ; |
| sá mik vekr, | He wakes me, |
| er af víði kemr, | That comes from the sea, |
| morgun hverjan már. | The mew, every morning. |
