Note to Anon (Sv) 3II

[All]: As with Anon (Sv) 2 above, we do not know who composed this half-st. originally, but Sverrir is the one who recites it (ÍF 30, 73): En búandamúgrinn, sá er þeir hafa nauðgan hertekinn hingat, þá munu þeir ekki hirða um hvárir falla ef sjálfir eru þeir ósárir. Veit ek þat ok sannliga um alla Þrœndi at þeim er svá gefit sem skáldit kvað ‘But concerning the crowd of farmers, which they have brought here by force against their will, they will not care who falls if they themselves are not wounded. I also know this in truth about all the Þrœndir, that they feel the way the skald said’.
