Stanzas 21-28 cover extended metres and end-rhyme forms. Tøglag involves drawn-out, elongated lines, while runhent uses end-rhyme instead of the internal rhyme characteristic of the dróttkvætt family.
Tøglag heitir þat er línurnar eru dregnar ok lengdar umfram venjulegt dróttkvætt. Þat þykir skáldskap aukinn er línurnar eru fleiri ok orðin fleiri. Runhent er þat er endrimat er í línum sem líkari er þýskri kvæðaskapar þjóð en norrænum.
Tøglag is the name for the metre where the lines are drawn out and extended beyond normal dróttkvætt. It is considered enhanced skaldic craft when lines and words are more numerous. Runhent is the metre in which end-rhyme is used in the lines, resembling German poetic tradition more than the Norse.
Þetta er fátt um ort í norrænni tungu þvíat þat er erfiðlegra að yrkja með svo mörgum orðum á hverri línu. En þó er þat sýnt hér til dæmis.
Little has been composed in this manner in the Norse tongue because it is harder to compose with so many words on each line. But it is shown here nonetheless as an example.
