Note to Anon Lil 55VII

[All]: This summarizing st. exhibits anadiplosis as well as climax or gradatio and polyptoton: see Note on 49/1-4 and cf. st. 66. The consistent end rhyme reflects the influence of the Lat. hymn tradition. The image of enclosure in the first helmingr contrasts with that of Christ’s opened arms in the second (see Laugesen 1966, 297-8).
