Updating this to note that if you use a long-form footnote, as such [1] then embedding the stanza does include the footnote in the embed.
I.e.
- “Go now, Skirnir! | and seek to gain
Speech from my son;
And answer to win, | for whom the wise one
Is mightily moved.” [2] ^1
looks like this when embedded:
However, this makes the markup really ugly, and I can’t have footnotes of more than a single line.

My son: both manuscripts, and many editors, have “our son,” which, of course, goes with the introduction of Skathi in the prose. As the stanza is clearly addressed to Skirnir, the change of pronouns seems justified. The same confusion occurs in stanza 2, where Skirnir in the manuscripts is made to speak of Freyr as [fp. 108]“your son” (plural). The plural pronoun in the original involves a metrical error, which is corrected by the emendation. ↩︎
