[edit] Sigurðardrápa

This is the stanza quoted in Heimskringla in Lee M. Hollander's translation (ISBN 0292730616):

Bring not there your beer, vat-
brewed, to lord free-handed,
nor fare with baskets filled with
food. —The gods tricked Thjatsi.
All shun to fall foul of
fender-of-the-temple,
fain to be the famed one's
friend. —Fought Gram for riches.

Should be integrated into the article at some point or, perhaps, Sigurðardrápa is worthy of a separate article, I'm not sure. No, probably not. Haukur 09:21, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
