Þessi *ljóð,
ef þú þekkjaz vilt,
efla þik til þrifa,
en sá halr,
sem hafna vill,
stríðir sjálfum sér.

This poem [lit. these poems] will help you to prosperity, if you want to receive it, but the man who wants to reject it, will harm himself. |
notes: Lat. parallel: (III, Praefatio) Hoc
quicumque voles carmen cognoscere lector / cum praecepta ferat, quae sunt
gratissima vitae / commoda multa feres, sin autem spreveris illud, / non
me scriptorem, sed te neglexeris ipse ‘Any reader who
wishes to know this poem, since it brings precepts which are most applicable
to life; you carry many useful things, but if you scorn it, you are not
neglecting me, the author, but yourself’. The inclusion of an Icel. version of the prefaces to Books III-IV here is probably to supply an appropriate conclusion to the poem. The Lat. disticha end with IV, 49: Miraris verbis nudis me scribere versus; / hoc brevitas fecit, sensu coniungere binos ‘You marvel that I write these verses in bare words; this brevity brings about, to join in one thought two (lines)’.
