Note to RvHbreiðm Hl 59III

[1, 8]: Repeated as st. 60/1, 8 below, which gives the impression that the poets consciously attempted to create the effect of a refrain reminiscent of the repetition of the first line in all of the stanzas of Anon KrmVIII, Hjoggum vér með hjǫrvi ‘We struck with the sword’; see Holtsmark, Hl 1941, 133-4.
