[5-8]: Olrik (1892-4, II, 96) and Liestøl (1917, 107-9) point out the similarity in wording of this half-stanza to one of the four-line stanzas of the Faroese Ragnars kvæði (see Djurhuus and Matras 1951-63, 222, st. 89; 225, st. 28; 230, st. 81; 239, st. 76; 243, st. 84) and to one of the stanzas, also of four lines, in the Danish ballad ‘Regnfred og Kragelil’ (DgF I, 331, st. 11).
