The Challenge of Thor.

¥ am the God Thor, I am the War God. YT am. the Thunderer! Here in my Northland. My fastness and fortress, Reign I for ever! Here amid icehergs Rule I the nations: This is my hammer, Miolner the mighty: Giants and sorcerers Cannot withstand it! These are my gauntléts Wherewith I wield it; And hurl it afar off. This is my girdle: Whenever I brace it. Streneth is redoubled. The light thou beholdest Stream through the heavens Tn flashes of crimson, Ts but my ved beard. | Blown by the night-wind, Affrichting the nations! Tove is my brother, Mine eves are the lightning The wheels of mv chariot Roll in the thunder,’ The blows of my hammer Ring in the earthquake! Force rules the world still, Has ruled it, shall rule ft, Meekness is weakness, Streneth is trinmphant 3 Over the whole earth Still is it Thor’s day! Thou art 2a God too, O Galilean, Se And thus singlé-handed. Tinto the combat, Gauntlet or Gospel, Here I defy Thee!
