But Sinfjotli made little enow of it, but drew his sword and slew them both, and cast them into the hall at King Siggeir's feet.
But the queen said to Sinfjotli, "Why must other men needs drink thine ale for thee?"
Now Sinfjotli drave the point of the sword up into the big stone, and drew it hard along, and the sword bit on the stone.
So Sinfjotli drank, and straightway fell down dead to the ground.
