The same passage may carry a different number in another edition.
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.Hávamál, translated by Henry Adams Bellows, in The Poetic Edda (1923).
