I am Hjalmar's great-grandfather. I thank you for telling the boy stories, but you must not confuse his ideas. The stars cannot be taken down from the sky and polished; they are spheres like our earth, which is a good thing for them." "Thank you, old great-grandfather," said Ole-Luk-Oie. "I thank you; you may be the head of the family, as no doubt you are, but I am older than you.
All the twelve sons of Arngrim fall, and Hjalmar is mortally wounded by Tyrfing. The survivor buries his twelve foemen where they fell, and takes his comrade's body back to Sweden. The first poem gives the challenge of the Swedish champions, and Hjalmar's dying song. Hervör, the daughter of Angantyr, is in some respects a female counterpart of Sigurd.
"Oh, we are very willing to do so, but we cannot," said Hjalmar's letters; "we are so wretchedly made." "You must be scratched out, then," said Ole-Luk-Oie. "Oh, no!" they cried, and then they stood up so gracefully it was quite a pleasure to look at them.
The pencil pulled and tugged at its string as if it were a little dog that wanted to help, but could not. And then came a moan from Hjalmar's copy-book. Oh, it was quite terrible to hear! On each leaf stood a row of capital letters, every one having a small letter by its side.
"Tell me but truth.... Thou art slow to give thine only child her heritage." He tries to frighten her back to the ships by describing the sights she will see, but she only cries again, "Give me Hjalmar's slayer from the howe, Angantyr!" A.

According to Keating, they learnt the art of necromancy in the East, and taught it to the Danes. There is a modern German translation by Simrock. Angantyr. The poems of this cycle are four in number Hjalmar's Death-song: Angantyr and Hervör; Heidrek's Riddle-Poem: Angantyr the Younger and Hlod. All are given in the first volume of the Corpus, with translations.
One of them held out her hand, in which was a heart made of sugar, more beautiful than any confectioner ever sold. As Hjalmar sailed by, he caught hold of one side of the sugar heart, and held it fast, and the princess held fast also, so that it broke in two pieces. Hjalmar had one piece, and the princess the other, but Hjalmar's was the largest.
At the same time sounded dismal moans from the table-drawer in which lay Hjalmar's school books. "What can that be now?" said Ole-Luk-Oie, going to the table and pulling out the drawer. It was a slate, in such distress because of a false number in the sum, that it had almost broken itself to pieces.
