AND NOTES
207
Viking. Title given to the ancient sea-rovers.
Vikinga-balk. A code of laws written for the government of a pirate
crew. Balk (see Runcnbalk), properly a beam; hence, a staff on which
letters were graven. The translator must plead metrical license or
necessity for making the word rhyme with hawk, in the second line
of Canto xv, as it is pronounced with an ending like that of talc.
Yarl (whence Earl). One holding kingly power, but paying tribute.
Ymer. A mighty giant, of whose corpse the earth was said to have
been formed.
