Note to Arn Hryn 1II

[All]: The ll. share the metre and seafaring theme of st. 2 which, on the evidence of Óláfr hvítaskáld (see Context to st. 2), belongs to the exordium of the poem. The two couplets answer well to the detail of the Mork anecdote about Arnórr’s recitation before Magnús and Haraldr (see Introduction above). The assignment of the two couplets to this poem is further discussed in Cawley 1926-7 and Edwards 1979, 40-1.
