a love song, 325. i. 165, 16; in the old law a kind of love libel, liable to outlawry, ii. 150, iii. 242: in usage the lyrical introduction to the epic rhapsodies or ballads (rímur) is called mansöngr, for originally they were addressed to the poet’s lady-love, Skald H. 6. 1, Skíða R. 1, and in countless instances, 1. 8, 2. 8, 3. 8, 4. 8, 5. 7, 7. 9, 9. 11, 11. 10.
