CHAPTER XLVIII. THE SLAYING OF THORBIORN OXMAIN.

[Songs extracted from the prose narrative.]

[“Giant's friend fell dead to earth]

[Grettir.]
“Giant's friend fell dead to earth
On the grass of Wether-firth,
No fierce fighting would avail
Oxmain in the Odin's gale.
So, and in no other wise,
Has been paid a fitting price
For that Atli, who of yore,
Lay dead-slain a-nigh his door.”
