Then Grettir sang this stave "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, With but two in company, Past the door of Skeggi's son, Nigh his hearth, O glittering one."
"A rock-troll her weight did throw At Skeggi's throat a while ago: Over the battle ogress ran The red blood of the serving-man; Her deadly iron mouth did gape Above him, till clean out of shape She tore his head and let out life: And certainly I saw their strife." Then Thorkel's men sprung up and said that surely trolls had not taken the man in broad daylight.
"Good," said Grettir; "but, howsoever that went, thou at least shall never throttle me." Then Skeggi got at his axe and hewed at Grettir; when Grettir saw that, he caught the axe-handle with the left hand bladeward of Skeggi's hand, so hard that straightway was the axe loosed from his hold.
