...
On this very day, as evening approaches,
the first is (like) a fox that drags/shuffles its tail,
the second being sniffs like a domestic dog,
the third, like a raven, (its) bite pecks larvae, the fourth overwhelms like a huge carrion devourer vulture,
the fifth being, although not a wolf, falls upon black lambs,
the sixth being hoots like an owl, which re- sides in ...,
the seventh being is (like) a shark (that) darts across the waves
(Hymn to Hendursaga 46-48, 77-84)
