Note to Anon Mey 38VII

[5-8]: These ll. follow the general story line of the prose saga (Unger 1877, I, 435; Wolf 2003, 150), though in a rather cryptic fashion. When men tried to take Lucy to a brothel, it was found that she could not be moved. Sorcerers were called in to try and move her by magic, but they failed. She was then drenched in urine to counter any magical powers that she might have been using herself, to no effect. Finally, a team of oxen was brought in to move her but they also failed.
