29.1"How should winter be periphrased? Thus: call it Son of Vindsvalr, Destruction of Serpents, Tempest Season. Thus sang Ormr Steinthórsson: To the blind man I proffer This blessing: Vindsvalr's Son.

29.2Thus sang Ásgrímr: The warlike Spoil-Bestower, Lavish of Wealth, that winter— Snake's-Woe—in Thrándheim tarried; The folk knew thy true actions.
