Balferd Baldrs

En Æsirnir tóku lík Baldrs ok fluttu til sævar. Hringhorni hét skip
Baldrs. Hann var allra skipa mestr. Hann vildu goðin fram setja ok gera
þar á bálfør Baldrs. En skipit gekk hvergi fram. Þá var sent í
Jøtunheima eptir gýgi þeiri er Hyrrokkin hét. En er
Hon kom ok reið vargi ok hafði høggorm at taumum þá hljóp hon af
Hestinum, en Óðinn kallaði til berserki fjóra at gæta hestsins, ok fengu
þeir eigi haldit nema þeir feldi hann. Þá gekk Hyrrokkin á framstafn
Nøkkvans ok hratt fram í fyrsta viðbragði svá at
Eldr hraut ór hlunnunum ok lønd øll skulfu. Þá varð Þórr reiðr ok greip
Hamarinn ok myndi þá brjóta høfuð hennar áðr en goðin øll báðu henni
Friðar. Þá var borit út á skipit lík Baldrs, ok er þat sá kona hans
Nanna Nepsdóttir Þá sprakk hon af harmi ok dó
. Var hon borin á bálit ok slegit í eldi. Þá stóð Þórr at ok vígði bálit
Með Mjøllni. En fyrir fótum hans rann dvergr nokkurr. Sá er Litr nefndr.
En Þórr spyrndi foeti sínum á hann ok hratt honum í eldinn ok brann
Hann.

Balder's Funeral Pyre

The Aesir took Balder's body and carried it to the seashore. The Ring-Horne was the name of
Balder's ship, the largest of all ships. The gods wished to launch it and make upon it
Balder's funeral pyre; but could not move the ship. Then was sent to Jötunheim for the giantess
called Hyrrokkin. When
She came riding a wolf and having venomous serpents for reins, then she alighted from
Her horse, but Odin called four berserks to guard the steed, yet they could not hold it but
They felled it. Then Hyrrokkin went to the prow
Of the ship and pushed it out at the first shove so
That fire flashed from the rollers and all lands trembled. Then Thor became wroth and laid his
Hand upon his hammer and would have slain her; but all the gods prayed for
Peace for her. Then the body of Balder was borne out on the ship, and when his wife
Nanna, the daughter of Nep, saw that, her heart burst with grief and
She died. She was laid on the funeral pyre beside her husband, and Thor hallowing the
Pyre with his hammer. But as he did so, there ran out from under his feet a dwarf named Litr.
Thor cast his foot about and smote him into the fire and burnt
Him.
