CHAPTER XII
[Songs extracted from the prose narrative.]
20
[Song of the meeting of the Fore-fathers of Grettir.]
“At Rib-skerries, I hear folk tell,A hard and dreadful fray befell,
For men unarmed upon that day
With strips of whale-fat made good play.
Fierce steel-gods these in turn did meet
With blubber-slices nowise sweet;
Certes a wretched thing it is
To tell of squabbles such as this.”
