verse or stanza of a song

  • 1 LJÓÐ

    n. verse or stanza of a song (ljóð þau, er kallat er gróttasöngr); a ditty, a charm in verse; usually pl., also in names of poems, as Hyndluljóð, Sólarljóð.

    n., esp. in pl.; the spelling with h in Hyndlu-hliod, Fb. i. 11, and hljoðum, Fs. 94, note 4, is wrong and due to some transcriber who confounded it with hljóð (q. v.), which is a different root word, cp. the alliteration on l in Hm. 163, 164; [Ulf. liuþ in awi-liuþ and liuþon; A. S. leôð; Old Engl. lud; O. H. G. liôd; Germ. lied]:—a lay, song:
    I. sing. a ditty; eigi lengr en gaukrinn þagði, eðr ljóð mátti kveða, Edda 79, cp. Ed. Arna-Magn. i. 376. note 14; eða lengr en svá ljóð eitt kveðak, Gs. 7; þá kvað þursinn af bjargi annat ljóð, Fas. ii. 29; ok þá varð henni ljóð á munni, 507; varð henni þá ljóð á munni, Fb. i. 525.
    II. plur. songs, lays; in Hm. it is used of charms or spells, as also in Yngl. S. ch. 7—hann kunni þau ljóð, at upp lauksk fyrir honum jörðin ok björg ok steinar; allar þessar íþróttir kenndi hann með rúnum ok ljóðum, id.; hann ok hofgoðar hans heita ljóða-smiðir (‘lay-smith’) þvíat sú íþrótt (i. e. poetry) hófsk með þeim á Norðrlöndum, Yngl. S. ch. 6; so also, fullr er hann ljóða ok líkn-stafa, full of charms, and healing staves, Sdm. 5; ljóð ek þau kann, Hm. 147, 163, 164: the saving, fram koma ljóð þau löngu vóru sungin, Bs. i. 766: in names of poems, Hyndlu-ljóð, Harbarðs-ljóð, Sæm. 97 (Bugge note); Sólar-ljóð: used of the lays in the Strengleikar, called Ljóða-bók, f. a book of lays, Str. 1: ljóða-háttr, m. a kind of metre, such as the Hávamál; the inscription to Edda (Ht.) 100 is by Rask; but ljóðs-háttr occurs at the beginning of the Háttatal of earl Rögnvald: ljóða-tól, n. pl. instruments. Str. 37.

    u; f. [Germ. weise; Dan. vise], a strophe, stanza; kveða vísu, Nj. 12; hann orti kvæði ok eru þessar vísur í, Fms. v. 108; vísu lengd, the length of a stanza, Edda (Ht.) i. 606, 656: referring to the repetition of verses as a means of measuring time (minutes), Fs. (Vd. ch. 26); lausa-vísa, a ditty; níð-vísa, söng-visa; höldar danza harla snart, þá heyrist vísan min, a ditty: as the names of shorter poems, as, Nesja-vísur, Austrfarar-vísur, by Sighvat; Vísna-bók, a book of lays. Unlike the old Greek epics, as well as the poems of the Saxon Beowulf, all ancient Northern poetry is in strophic lays. Four sets of alliteration make a verse (vísa), two a half strophe, vísu-helmingr, Edda (Ht.) i. 610, or half vísa, Grág. ii. 148; one set a quarter of a vísa (vísu-fjórðungr); each alliterative set being again divided into two halves, called vísu-orð, a word or sentence, Edda (Ht.) i. 596, cp. Hallfr. S. ch. 6 (Fs. 96, 97); thus ‘fastorðr skyli fyrða | fengsæll vera þengill’ is an alliterative set. ☞ The vellums give verses in unbroken lines, but in modern print each alliterative set is divided into two lines: this may do for metres of the drótt-kvæð kind, with two rhyming syllables in each vísu-orð; but in the brief kviðu-háttr (the metre of the Vsp.) each alliterative set should, for the sake of the flow of the verse, be printed in one line, thus, Hljóðs bið ek allar helgar kindir | meiri ok minni mögu Heimdalar; for a pause only follows between each pair of sets, but none between the sub-staves and the head-stave. This plan is that advocated by Jacob Grimm: the other, commonly followed in the Editions, chops the verse into—hljóðs bið ek allar | helgar kindir | meiri ok minni | mögu Heimdalar.
