[All]: Because of the pres. tense of the verbs, Fidjestøl (1982, 150, 173) suggests that this helmingr could have been the refrain (stef) of the drápa. If that were the case, which seems likely, it would have concluded the section of the poem dealing with Magnús’s domestic affairs. Skj and Skald place the helmingr before st. 3 above.
