[All]: As has been noted by previous eds, some of the rhymes in this stanza (e.g. lof- : hóf, l. 5 and dygð : lygð-, l. 6) suggest a late date of composition. That is also corroborated by the fact that in l. 5, an odd line of Type XE3, metrical position 4 is occupied by a trimoraic nomen (hóf ‘moderation’).
