Note 40 — The Greenland Lay of Atli

Henry Adams Bellows translation

Apparently a Fornyrthislag stanza. Merry with ale: presumably this refers to Atli, but the manuscript reading makes it apply to the two boys. Sharers of gold: princes. Line 5 is either interpolated or all that is left of a separate stanza.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
