Which Old English poem is unique for featuring a refrain, 'Þæs ofereode, þisses swa mæg,' to structure its lament?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Deor, a lament of a displaced scop
The poem 'Deor' uses the refrain 'Þæs ofereode, þisses swa mæg' ('That passed away, so may this') to link various mythological and historical misfortunes to the speaker's own loss of status. It is one of the few examples of a strophic-like structure in Old English verse.
