The Prose Edda 2.47

"How should battle be periphrased? By calling it Storm of Weapons or of Sheltering Shields, or of Odin or the Valkyrs, or of Host-Kings; and Din and Clashing.

Thus sang Hornklofi:

The king hath held a Spear-Storm With heroes, where the eagles Screamed at the Din of Skögul; The red wounds spat out blood.

Thus sang Eyvindr:

And that hero At Háar's Tempest Wore a sark Of gray wolf-skin.

Thus sang Bersi:

In earlier days I seemed not To Gunn's War-Bushes useful In the Sleet of Hlökk, when younger We were: so 't is said.

Thus sang Einarr:

The stark prince lets Hildr's Shield-Sails Take the sternest crashing Storm-Wind Of the Valkyr, where hail of bow-strings Drives; the sword-blade hammers.

As Einarr Tinkling-Scale sang:

The mail-sarks of the warriors, Firm-woven, did not shelter The seemly youths 'gainst Högni's Showers of Hákon's onset.

Even as here:

They set the Point-Net's edge-band Against the Point-Crash-Urger.

And again:

'Neath eagles' claws the king's foes Sank at the Clash of Göndul.
