Ef þú vin átt,
þann er þér vildr sé,
fýs þú hann gott at gera;
orða þinna
þótt hann kunni öngva þökk,
þó skaltu hann við vammi vara.
Ef þú vin átt,
þann er þér vildr sé,
fýs þú hann gott at gera;
orða þinna
þótt hann kunni öngva þökk,
þó skaltu hann við vammi vara.
Ef þú átt vin, þann er sé þér vildr, fýs þú hann at gera gott; þótt hann kunni öngva þökk orða þinna, skaltu hann þó vara við vammi.

text
prose order
If you have a friend who is agreeable to you, encourage him to do good; although he might be ungrateful for your words, you must nonetheless warn him against wrongdoing. |
notes:
Lat. parallel (Dist. I, 9): Cum moneas aliquem nec se velit ille moneri, / si
tibi sit carus, noli desistere coeptis ‘When you warn
somebody even though he does not want to be warned, if he is dear to you, do not desist
in what you have begun’. — [1-3]: These ll. are parallelled in Hávm 44 (NK, 24): Veiztu, ef þú vin átt, | þann er þú vel trúir, | oc vill þú af hánom gott geta... ‘You know, if you’ve a friend whom you really trust / and from whom you want nothing but good...’ (Larrington 1996, 20). The reading vildr ‘pleasant, agreeable’ in 1199ˣ may have been influenced by Hávm 124/4 (NK, 37): era sá vinr ǫðrom, | er vilt eitt segir ‘he is no true friend who only says pleasant things’ (Larrington 1996, 31).
