Hannah Burrows (ed.) 2017, ‘Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks 90 (Anonymous Lausavísur, Lausavísur from Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks 9)’ in Margaret Clunies Ross (ed.), Poetry in fornaldarsögur. Skaldic Poetry of the Scandinavian Middle Ages 8. Turnhout: Brepols, p. 459.
text and translation
Segg fann hann úti fyrir sal hávum
ok síðförlan síðan kvaddi:
Hann fann segg úti fyrir hávum sal ok kvaddi síðan síðförlan:
‘He met a man outside in front of the high hall, and then greeted the one travelling late: ’
notes and context
Hlǫðr and his troops arrive at Árheimar, sem hér segir ‘as it says here’.
Other eds take this helmingr together with the following one, HlǫðH Lv 1 (Heiðr 90b), to form one eight-line stanza. — Manuscript R715ˣ, in keeping with its tendency to omit narrative (i.e. non-dialogue) verse, does not contain this helmingr. See also Heiðr 90b Note to [All]. The appearance of a minor character for the protagonist to run into late at night in order to move the plot along and explain the setting is utilised elsewhere in the saga in the poetry leading up to Hervǫr’s dialogue with her father Angantýr, Heiðr 18-24.
