137. Listen, Loddfafnir, to my advice. It'll help you if you have it, it'll do you good if you get it: if you drink ale, take in some of the Earth's strength. Earth combats inebriation, just as fire combats infections, oak combats constipation, axed weeds combat witchcraft, elder bush combats household quarrels, the Moon must be invoked against malice, earthworms combat stings and bites, runes combat evil, just as earth can hold back a flood.
