[9-10] Pétr prýðir várn pall hier inni með sínu minni: Með sínu minni ‘with his memorial toast’, i.e. ‘with the memorial toast for him, in his honour’. On the connection between the formulaic final couplets (all of which contain the end-rhyme inni : minni) and the tradition of drinking toasts in amore sanctorum ‘to the love of saints’, see Introduction, where a close connection with the late religious poem Ceciliudiktur is observed. Rhymed refrains of this sort are not without parallel. Compare, for instance, the form of the late poem Adamsóður, included in the Vísnabók (1612) of Bishop Guðbrandur Þorláksson of Hólar (Jón Torfason and Kristján Eiríksson 2000, 218-21), in which each st. of six ll. also ends with a rhyming couplet.
