1 Of the Knot and the Troll begins here the tale
And not to forget of a woman of Dale
Skjalddís the Snjógvurdreiki she was called
Men light of heart who beheld her were appalled
2 She was high in growth and mighty of hand
Also the Knot came from the very same land
Alfknutr, the Ælf-Knot he was named
Stolen the secret of elven rope he claimed
