Note to Þblǫnd Sigdr 1III

[3-4] menn hafa óð mínn … í munni ‘men have my poem … in their mouths’: Finnur Jónsson (Skj B) thinks that the phrase might mean that men vil mindes og fremsige ‘will remember and recite’ the poem. It could be understood as the poet’s wish for his poem to achieve great prominence and thus spread praise for the king among people.
