The Poetic Edda: Translated from the Icelandic with an Introduction and Notes, 1923

Henry Adams Bellows · stanza 126

1923

I rede thee, Loddfafnir! and hear thou my rede,—Profit thou hast if thou hearest,Great thy gain if thou learnest:A shoemaker be, or a maker of shafts,For only thy single self;If the shoe is ill made, or the shaft prove false,Then evil of thee men think.
