Fé þik eigi tæla lát,
þótt þér fagrt sýniz,
né til síngirnu snúi;
annars eign
girniz illr at hafa;
sæll er, sá er sínu unir.
Fé þik eigi tæla lát,

Lát eigi fé tæla þik, né snúi til síngirnu, þótt sýniz þér fagrt; illr girniz annars eign at hafa; sæll er, sá er unir sínu.

prose order
Do not let money entice you nor turn [you] to covetousness, although it may seem attractive to you; a bad person desires to own another’s possession; he is fortunate, who is content with his own. |
notes: Lat. parallel: (Dist. I, 29) Quod vile est carum, quod carum vile putato: / sic tu nec cupidus nec avarus nosceris ulli ‘Take that which is cheap to be dear, that dear to be cheap; thus you will be known to no-one as greedy nor avaricious’. Although the phrasing in both versions of ll. 1-3 is quite different, they both render the Lat. distich equally correctly. Therefore it remains uncertain which version is closer to the original translation. Avarice is quite a common topic in medieval literature. In Hsv it is also mentioned in sts 22, 73, 96, and 97. There is a parallel in content in Sól 63. — [1-2]:
624 reads quite differently: Fé [þótt] fagrt sé | lát þú þik eigi tæla ‘Do not let money
entice you, although it seems attractive’ (AM 148 8° has þó).
