[All]: Finnur Jónsson (TGT 1927, 54 n.) suggests Óláfr’s authorship in his notes, based on the similarity with the example in Donatus (Keil 1855-80, IV, 394): Hunc ego si potui tantum sperare dolorem ‘If I must hope for so much pain’. This is the third of five unattributed dróttkvætt fragments in TGT which have a woman as their subject and may belong to the same poem. Cf. Anon (TGT) 6 Note to [All].
