He began his journey to Asgard and went stealthily, and took on him an old man’s likeness, and hid himself so. But the Asa were wiser than he in that they had spaedom, and they saw his journey before he came, and made ready against him false shows. Now when he was come into the burg then saw he there a hall so high that he was scarce able to see over it, it’s roof was laid with gilded shields as it were with shingles. So saith fiodolf of Hvina that Valhall was thatch with shields."
