Thor and Hymir go fishing for the Midgard Serpent.

From the 18th century Icelandic manuscript SÁM 66 in the care of the Árni Magnússon Institute in Iceland.

In standardized modern Icelandic spelling and my translation the text up in the right corner reads as follows.

Þór rær á sjó með Ymi jötni og dregur

hér Miðgarðs-Orminn, reiðist Ymi og reiðir

hamarinn Mjölnir og vill ljósta hann fyrir

hugleysi svo sem lesa má í XII. dæmisögu Eddu.

Thor rows to sea with Ymir the giant and here

he's catching the Midgard Serpent. He gets angry

with Ymir and holds up the hammer Mjölnir and

wants to smite him for his cowardice as can be

read in the XIIth parable of Edda.
