the otter-skin, and set it on its feet, and they must cover it
over utterly with gold: but when this was done then Hreidmar came
forth, and beheld yet one of the muzzle hairs, and bade them
cover that withal; then Odin drew the ring, Andvari's loom, from
his hand, and covered up the hair therewith; then sang Loki --

But thou and thy son
