Yngvar praised this stave,
and thanked Egil much therefor,
but on the morrow he brought to
Egil as reward for the poem
three sea-snail shells and a duck's egg.
And next day at the drinking
Egil recited another stave about
his poem's reward:

'The wielder of keen-biting wound-fowl
Gave unto Egil the talker
Three silent dogs of the surf-swell,
Meet for the praise in his poem.
He, the skilled guide of the sea-horse,
Knowing to please with a present,
Gave as fourth gift to young Egil
Round egg, the brook-bird's bed-bolster.'

Egil's poetry won him thanks from many men.
No more tidings were there of that journey.
Egil went home with Skallagrim.
