The same passage may carry a different number in another edition.
Many fair maids, if a man but tries them,False to a lover are found;That did I learn when I longed to gainWith wiles the maiden wise;Foul scorn was my meed from the crafty maid,And nought from the woman I won.* * *Hávamál, translated by Henry Adams Bellows, in The Poetic Edda (1923).
