The helmingr is given in the prose of Ht after Ht 44, which illustrates the dróttkvætt variant alhent ‘completely rhymed’, in which all odd and even lines contain two pairs of aðalhendingar. According to the prose commentary, that variant sounds best if there are no extra words, such as at ‘that’, ek ‘I’ or en ‘and’, between the rhymes, but not everyone has paid heed to that, ok er þat fyrir því eigi rangt, sem kvað Klœingr byskup ‘and therefore that which Bishop Klœingr composed is not incorrect’ (SnE 2007, 21).
The words falling between the internal rhymes in the present stanza are ek ‘I’ (bað ek > baðk ‘I commanded’), á ‘onto’ (l. 1), es ‘is’ (gǫr es > gǫrs ‘is made’), at ‘for’ (l. 2), á ‘out to’ (l. 3) and en ‘and’ (l. 4).
