The poetic Edda

Note 36 — The Ballad of Skirnir

Henry Adams Bellows translation

For the combination of this stanza with the preceding one, cf. note on stanza 35. The scribe clearly did not consider that the stanza began with line 1, as the first word thereof in the manuscript does not begin with a capital letter and has no period before it. The first word of line 3, however, is so marked. Line 5 may well be spurious.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
