Gripisspo<br />

Sigurth spake:<br />

52. "Now fare thee well! | our fates we shun not;<br />

And well has Gripir | answered my wish;<br />

More of joy | to me wouldst tell<br />

Of my life to come | if so thou couldst."<br />

[50. Gotthorm: Gunnar's half-brother, and slayer of Sigurth.<br />

52. <strong>The</strong> manuscript has stanzas 52 and 53 in inverse order.]<br />

{p. 355}<br />

Gripir spake:<br />

53 "Ever remember, ruler of men,<br />

That fortune lies in the hero's life;<br />

A nobler man shall never live<br />

Beneath the sun than Sigurth shall seem."<br />

{p. 356}<br />
