The same passage may carry a different number in another edition.
Though glad at home, and merry with guests,A man shall be wary and wise;The sage and shrewd, wide wisdom seeking,Must see that his speech be fair;A fool is he named who nought can say,For such is the way of the witless.Hávamál, translated by Henry Adams Bellows, in The Poetic Edda (1923).
