my head is struck by forging hammer,
sheared close by a sharpening blade,
honed smooth by fierce file.
Sometimes I swallow my tempered foe,
when bound by rings I heave from behind,
thrust a long limb through a hard hole
catch hard the keeper of the heart's pleasure,
twist with tongue and turn back
the midnight guardian of my lord's treasure.
When the conquering warrior comes to hold, the gift of slaughter, the joy of gold
