Do you hear, fair and good horse, I ask you a single question:1 "How much would you like to have of shining gold2 for you to cross the inlet?"3
The fair and good horse answered, hardheartedly:4 "I would like your right hand, but then I will carry you across."
Åsmund Frægdegjevar, whom God had advised, answered: "Of course you will get my right hand, but then you must also carry us both."
