Stanza 112

Original Old Norse:	Auden & Taylor:	Bellows:	Bray:
Ráðumk þér Loddfáfnir en þú ráð nemir njóta mundu ef þú nemr þér munu góð ef þú getr nótt þú rísat nema á njósn sér eða þú leitir þér innan út staðar	Loddfafnir, listen to my counsel: You will fare well if you follow it, It will help you much if you heed it. Never rise at night unless you need to spy Or to ease yourself in the outhouse.	I rede thee, Loddfafnir! | and hear thou my rede,--- Profit thou hast if thou hearest, Great thy gain if thou learnest: Rise not at night, | save if news thou seekest, Or fain to the outhouse wouldst fare.	I counsel thee, Stray-Singer, accept my counsels, they will be thy boon if thou obey'st them, they will work thy weal if thou win'st them: thou shalt never sleep in the arms of a sorceress, lest she should lock thy limbs;
Chisholm:	Hollander:	Terry:	Thorpe:
I give you rede Loddfafnir, heed it well! You will use it if you learn it, it will get you good, if you understand it. Do not rise at night, except to spy, or to find the outhouse.	Hear thou, Loddfafnir, and heed it well, learn it, 'twill lend thee strength, follow it, 'twill further thee: at night rise not but to be ready for foe, or to look for a spot to relieve thee.	Heed my words, Loddfafnir, listen to my counsel; you'll be better off if you believe me, follow my advice, and you'll fare well: don't get up at night except to guard the house, go out only to relieve yourself.	114. I counsel thee, Loddfafnir, to take advise: thou wilt profit if thou takest it. Rise not a night, unless to explore, or art compelled to go out.
Lines 1-3 are the formula, repeated (abbreviated in the manuscript) in most of the stanzas, with which Othin prefaces his counsels to Loddfafnir, and throughout this section, except in stanzas 111 and 138, Loddfafnir represents himself as simply quoting Othin's words. The material is closely analogous to that contained in the first eighty stanzas of the poem. In some cases (e. g., stanzas 117, 119, 121, 126 and 130) the formula precedes a full four-line stanza instead of two (or three) lines.]
