To continue from Poetic Edda:
6. Then sough the gods their assembly-seats,
The holy ones, and council held;
Names then gave they to noon and twilight,
Morning they named, and the waning moon,
Night and evening, the years to number.
7. At Ithavoll met the mighty gods,
Shrines and temples they timbered high;
Forges they set, and smithied ore,
Tongs they wrought, and tools they fashioned.
8. In their dwelling at peace they played at tables,
Of gold no lack did the gods then know, --
Till tither came up giants-maid three,
Huge of might , out of Jotunheim.
