Note to FriðÞ Lv 13VIII (Frið 15)

[All]: This stanza is an irregular dróttkvætt, rather than the málaháttr suggested by Wenz (Frið 1914, lxxii). Aðalhendingar are lacking in ll. 6 and 8, while l. 6 is hypermetrical when vér ‘we’, present in all mss, is included. Skj B and Skald regularise the metre here by deleting the pron.
