[“O wise sun of golden stall]

[Grettir.]
“O wise sun of golden stall,
When thy sire comes back to hall,
Thou mayst tell him without sin
This, though little lies therein,
That thou saw'st me ride hereby,

160

With but two in company,
Past the door of Skeggi's son,
Nigh his hearth, O glittering one.”
