     Mällan Midgard och Jotunheim ligger en bred bottenfördjupning, hvari blodböljorna samlade sig och bildade det kring Midgard på alla sidor sig utbredande hafvet.

     Between Midgard and Jotunheim lies a wide depression, where the waves of blood gathered and formed the spreading sea around Midgard on all sides.

     Förr Fenris fjättrar
     I stycken falla,
     Än jämngod hjälte
     Skall Midgard gästa...

     For the fetters of Fenris
     In pieces fall,
     Even good hero
     Should Midgard visit...
