"Otherwise would matters be, When this shouting Haflidi Ate in house at Reydarfell Curdled milk, and deemed it well; He who decks the reindeer's side That 'twixt ness and ness doth glide, Twice in one day had his fill Of the feast of dart shower shrill." The shipmen thought this foul enough, and said he should not put shame on Skipper Haflidi for nought.
There was a man called Haflidi, who dwelt at Reydarfell in Whiteriverside, he was a seafaring man and had a sailing ship, which lay up Whiteriver: there was a man on board his ship, hight Bard, who had a wife with him young and fair.
Asmund was much put out and said he would be a trouble to everybody. There dwelt at Reydarfell on the banks of the Hvita a man named Haflidi, a mariner, owning a ship of his own which was lying in dock in the Hvita river. He had as his mate a man named Bard who had a young and pretty wife. Asmund sent a man to Haflidi asking him to take Grettir and look after him.
Grettir, when he heard himself being denounced, spoke a verse: "Other the words that Haflidi spake when he dined on curds at Reydarfell. But now two meals a day he takes in the steed of the bays mid foreland shores." The sailors were very angry and said he should not lampoon Haflidi for nothing.
