A fine drink I will offer thee, Property and many gifts For which thou yearnest most. I give thee twelve hundred men, I give thee twelve hundred horses, I give thee twelve hundred servants Who carry shields. I give every man Many things to accept; A maiden I give To every man; I clasp a necklace Around the neck of every maiden. With silver I will measure thee sitting; And over thee walking Pour gold, So that the rings[77] Roll in every direction; Over a third part of the Goth-thjód[78] (people) Thou shalt rule. “Gizur Grýtingalidi, the foster-father of Heidrek, was then with Angantýr; he was very old; when he heard the offer of Angantýr he thought he offered too much, and said:— This is acceptable To a bond-woman’s child, Though he is born to the king; The bastard Sat on a mound When the king Divided the inheritance. “Now Hlöd became very angry at being called a bondwoman’s child and a bastard if he accepted his brother’s offer; he went away with all his men to Húnaland to Humli, his mother’s father, and told him that his brother Angantýr had offered him a third of the realm, Humli heard all they had spoken, and was very angry that his daughter’s son Hlöd should be called the son of a bondwoman. He said:— “We shall sit this winter And live happily, Drain and talk over The costly drink, Teach the Húnar To make their weapons ready Which we boldly Shall bear forth. Well shall we, Hlöd, Dress the warriors And strongly Press the shields; Twelve-winters-old men, And two-winters-old horses, Thus shall the host Of the Húnar be gathered.” (Hervarar Saga, c. 16, 17.) Property was divided also by mutual arrangement.
