For silks and fur of yeomen
twilled woolen is
as is horsehair the holyman's!
Take heed of hearth's helmet:
sea swells, hewn shingles
this is the freeman's keep
like a king's longboat
blessed wealth of commons

>Prologue:

>In the beginning God created heaven and earth and all those things which are in them; and last of all, two of human kind, Adam and Eve, from whom the races are descended. And their offspring multiplied among themselves and were scattered throughout the earth.

>Near the earth's centre was made that goodliest of homes and haunts that ever have been, which is called Troy, even that which we call Turkland. This abode was much more gloriously made than others, and fashioned with more skill of craftsmanship in manifold wise, both in luxury and in the wealth which was there in abundance. There were twelve kingdoms and one High King, and many sovereignties belonged to each kingdom; in the stronghold were twelve chieftains. These chieftains were in every manly part greatly above other men that have ever been in the world. One king among them was called Múnón or Mennón; and he was wedded to the daughter of the High King Priam, her who was called Tróán; they had a child named Trór, whom we call Thor.

Why did Sturluson make Thor a human, from Troy, and not even the son of Odin? Why is the Judeo-Christian creation myth in here? WTF is this mess?
