[1-4]: Line 2 is omitted in R715ˣ, and Verelius (Heiðr 1672, 90) omits um eyna ‘around the island’, presumably so that the stanza has an even six lines. His edn thus reads Hirdum ey fælast | þott elldar brenni ‘Let us not be frightened though fires burn’. In Herv Lv 13/1-4 (Heiðr 33) Hervǫr once again has to deny that she is frightened by the fires, in that instance to her father, Angantýr.
