The gods bore iron-edge spears, rushing with piercing shafts; they hurled them forth with bending bows. Where the shield lay upon the eyes, they set the helm and burned it up.
The gods came, they bare their axes, clearing the woods, they came with men in front of the waters;depositing (the tree) of good wood in the belly (of the river); where the underwood (is), they burnt it up.
The Deities approached, they carried axes; splitting the wood they came with their attendants. They laid good timber in the fire-receivers, and burnt the grass up where they found it growing.
