The Poetic Edda: Translated from the Icelandic with an Introduction and Notes, 1923
Henry Adams Bellows · stanza 119
1923
I rede thee, Loddfafnir! and hear thou my rede,—Profit thou hast if thou hearest,Great thy gain if thou learnest:If a friend thou hast whom thou fully wilt trust,Then fare to find him oft;For brambles grow and waving grassOn the rarely trodden road.
