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

Henry Adams Bellows · stanza 134

1923

I rede thee, Loddfafnir! and hear thou my rede,—Profit thou hast if thou hearest,Great thy gain if thou learnest:Scorn not ever the gray-haired singer,Oft do the old speak good;(Oft from shrivelled skin come skillful counsels,Though it hang with the hides,And flap with the pelts,And is blown with the bellies.)
