Henry Adams Bellows · stanza 137

1923
I rede thee, Loddfafnir! and hear thou my rede,—Profit thou hast if thou hearest,Great thy gain if thou learnest:When ale thou drinkest, seek might of earth,(For earth cures drink, and fire cures ills,The oak cures tightness, the ear cures magic,Rye cures rupture, the moon cures rage,Grass cures the scab, and runes the sword-cut;)The field absorbs the flood.
