So they paid down the money truly out of hand, and then Hauskuld
said, "Enjoy it now, as thou hast gotten it." Then Gunnar sang
another stave: --
"Men who wield the blade of battle
Hoarded wealth may well enjoy,
Guileless gotten this at least,
Golden meed I fearless take;
But if we for woman's quarrel,
Warriors born to brandish sword,
Glut the wolf with manly gore,
Worse the lot of both would be."
