Note 56 — 4 LADY ISABEL AND THE ELF-KNIGHT
Reading edition
The remarkable Norwegian ballad of the 'Wassermanns Brant' group, The Nix and Heiemo, Landstad, No 39, p. 350, has not been unaffected by the one we are now occupied with. There is even a verbal contact between stanza 19,
'Heiemo tenkte með sjave seg: Tru mine smá knivar 'ki hjelper meg?'
and Norwegian F, stanza 9, cited by Grundtvig, IV, 4,
Lengji stó Gullbjör, hó tenkte mæ seg: 'Kann inkje mí' rúninne hjelpe meg?'
