Note to Heiðv Lv 1VIII (Hrólf 2)

[1-2]: These lines are very similar to two versions of a stanza ascribed to Bragi Boddason (Bragi Lv 1aIV and Lv 1b (Hálf 78)), uttered in similarly vatic circumstances about twin boys, which begins: Tveir ’ro inni – trúik bôðum vel –  ‘Two are inside – I trust both well’. The variant inni in may reflect this (it can hardly have been in the common original of the Hrólf mss). See further Introduction to Bragi Lv 1aIV and Introduction to Hálf 78.
