Bellows numbers this stanza 77 and notes that the manuscript order is 77, 78, 76, 80, 79, 81. Under the standard Neckel/Kuhn numbering the same stanza is Havamal 76. The RefDisplay names the numbering on purpose: an unattributed stanza number here is a citation a specialist can overturn immediately. Bellows sets the half-lines with wide internal spacing, which is normalised to single spaces above.
