9.  He then began his strength to prove, bast to bind, make of it loads; then faggots carried home, the livelong day.

10.  Then to the dwelling came a woman walking, scarred were her foot-soles, her arms sunburnt, her nose compressed, her name was Thy.

11.  In the middle seat herself she placed; by her sat the house’s son.  They spoke and whispered, prepared a bed, Thrael and Thy, and days of care.

12.  Children they begat, and lived content:  Their names, I think, were Hreimr and Fiosnir, Klur and Kleggi, Kefsir, Fulnir, Drumb, Digraldi, Drott and Hosvir, Lut and Leggialdi.  Fences they erected, fields manured, tended swine, kept goats, dug turf.

13.  The daughters were Drumba and Kumba, Okkvinkalfa, and Arinnefia, Ysia and Ambatt, Eikintiasna, Totrughypia, and Tronubeina, whence are sprung the race of thralls.

14.  Rig then went on, in a direct course, and came to a house; the door stood ajar:  he went in; fire was on the floor, man and wife sat there engaged at work.

15.  The man was planing wood for a weaver’s beam; his beard was trimmed, a lock was on his forehead, his shirt close; his chest stood on the floor.

16.  His wife sat by, plied her rock, with outstretched arms, prepared for clothing.  A hood was on her head, a loose sark over her breast, a kerchief round her neck, studs on her shoulders.  Afi and Amma owned the house.

17.  Rig would counsel give to them both; rose from the table, prepared to sleep; laid him down in the middle of the bed, the domestic pair lay one on either side.

19.  It grew up, and well throve; learned to tame oxen, make a plough, houses build, and barns construct, make carts, and the plough drive.

20.  Then they home conveyed a lass with pendent keys, and goatskin kirtle; married her to Karl.  Snor was her name, under a veil she sat.  The couple dwelt together, rings exchanged, spread couches, and a household formed.

21.  Children they begat, and lived content.  Hal and Dreng, these were named, Held, Thegn, Smith, Breidr-bondi, Bundinskegg, Bui and Boddi, Brattskegg and Segg.

22.  But [the daughters] were thus called, by other names:  Snot, Brud, Svanni, Svarri, Sprakki, Fliod, Sprund, and Vif, Feima, Ristil; whence are sprung the races of churls.

23.  Rig then went thence, in a direct course, and came to a hall:  the entrance looked southward, the door was half closed, a ring was on the door-post.

24.  He went in; the floor was strewed, a couple sat facing each other, Fadir and Modir, with fingers playing.

25.  The husband sat, and twisted string, bent his bow, and arrow-shafts prepared; but the housewife looked on her arms, smoothed her veil, and her sleeves fastened;
