Fair face, freedom, Freyja to friend. Me what gave he? Mark!—Mountain-mist, madness, Monstrous made me, marr’d, wolf-masked, Cramped in snow-crater, frost-crusted, chained; Numb, naked, night-winds gnaw me, Blistereth black ice, biteth my bones. BALDUR Thou shalt be free. FENRIS Me mocketh, mocketh! Ai! BALDUR Fenris, my brother, hear me! I bring thee freedom. FENRIS [Holding out his chain to Baldur.] Liest;—loose me! BALDUR Hush! I know the secret How thou mayst slip these shackles. I have learned From Odin how he binds thee. Wilt thou hear?
