Stories And Ballads > Part I > The TháTtr Of SöRli
attestation: Gondul said Hogni had twenty kings subject to him just like Hethin and lived in Denmark
"she knew of one who did not fall short of him--one who had twenty kings subject to him just as Hethin had; and she added that his name was Högni and that he lived in the North, in Denmark."
attestation: Gondul offered Hethin a drink from a horn that made him forget everything that had happened
"She was holding a horn with a lid to it. The King fell in love with her. She offered him a drink and he felt thirsty"
attestation: Gondul told Hethin he was not equal to Hogni because Hogni had a wife while Hethin did not
""Yet you two are not equal," said she.
"And why not?" asked Hethin.
"For this reason," replied she: "Högni has married a wife of high birth, whereas you have no wife.""
attestation: Gondul urged Hethin to carry off Hogni's daughter Hild rather than ask for her
"Your honour will be impaired," said she, "if you ask Högni for a marriage alliance."
attestation: Gondul gave Hethin another drink that put him to sleep in her lap
"she offered him a drink from it. He took it and drank; and when he had drunk, sleep fell upon him, and he let his head sink into her lap."
