Such chastisement doth the power of heaven mete out to thee, for truly thy sacrilegious hands have slain one of the dweller's above, disguised in a shape that was not his: thus here art thou, the slayer of a benignant god! But when the sea receives thee, the wrath of the prison of Eolus shall be loosed upon thy head.

The West and the furious North, the South wind shall beat thee down, shall league and send forth their blasts in rivalry; until with better prayers thou hast melted the sternness of heaven, and hast lifted with appeasement the punishment thou hast earned." So, when Hadding went back, he suffered all things after this one fashion, and his coming brought disquiet upon all peaceful places.

For when he was at sea a mighty storm arose and destroyed his fleet in a great tempest: and when, a shipwrecked man, he sought entertainment, he found a sudden downfall of that house.

Nor was there any cure for his trouble, ere he atoned by sacrifice for his crime, and was able to return into favour with heaven.

For, in order to appease the deities, he sacrificed dusky victims to the god Frey.
