ACT
III –
IN
ÞRYM'S HALL
Þrym speaks: Ale
and oxe, eight salmon have I A feast for all I do deem Eat
and drink my bride to be There's food enough for forty men!
Þúnor immediately
takes to the food like a rabid dog, while Þrym stands dumbfounded.
laughing
Loca
speaks: Long
and alone we fared to Þrym Fair Fréo's heart with love was
full
Famished was she for your embrace And
thirsty for Þrym's mighty kiss
Þrym
leans in to Fréo and tries to steal a kiss. He then jumps back in
horror scared for his life.
laughing
Þrym
speaks:
Flames I found under the veil Eyes
so full of anger and spite! Why in the worlds is Fréo mad? A
finer groom she can not find!
Loca
speaks: Nights all eight awake she's been Aroused
was she and eager for thee A
journey long is an awful thing
An Eoten groom is a thing most grand!
Þrym
seems reassured by these words and offer's Þúnor a seat. He then
summons his servants forward
Þrym
speaks: Bring in the hammer and bless my bride Lay
the load upon her lap Wær we ask to ward us both No
god or ghost has seen a grander pair!
The
servants bring in the hammer and place it in Þúnor's lap. Þrym then
goes to kiss Þúnor, lifts the veil, and finds a devilish smile and
beard waiting for him. Þúnor then proceeds to clobber the eotens.
