32."Seventh answer me well, if wise thou art called,
If thou knowest it, Vafthruthnir, now:

Grew man-child and maid together;
And foot with foot did the wise one fashion
A son that six heads bore."

If thou knowest it, Vafthruthnir, now:
What farthest back dost thou bear in mind?
For wide is thy wisdom, giant!"
