The metre is fornyrðislag ‘old story metre’ (heading added by R*). The odd lines have one alliterating stave (Types A3 (l. 1), A2 (l. 3), C3 (l. 5), E (l. 7)) and all the even lines have anacruses (Types C2 (l. 8) and C3 (ll. 2, 4, 6)).
For a discussion of fornyrðislag, see Section 4 of the General Introduction in SkP I. — [1-4]: This is the last helmingr of the poem exclusively devoted to the praise of Skúli.
