The Poetic Edda: Translated from the Icelandic with an Introduction and Notes, 1923
Henry Adams Bellows · stanza 130
1923
I rede thee, Loddfafnir! and hear thou my rede,—Profit thou hast if thou hearest,Great thy gain if thou learnest:If thou fain wouldst win a woman’s love,And gladness get from her,Fair be thy promise and well fulfilled;None loathes what good he gets.
