Note to Anon Mey 34VII

[8] fyrirlátandi ‘refused’: Lit. ‘refusing’. In this section of Mey, the poet, perhaps influenced by the style of a prose source, uses a number of pres. part. constructions where one would often expect pret. verb forms. Cf. also bannandi ‘prohibiting’ 35/2, lesandi ‘[they] read’ 36/1.
