Ill tíðendi,
þótt þú einn vitir,
gerz þú þagmælskr af þeim;
allir þann lasta,
ef einn geriz
flærðar frumkveðill.

text
prose order
Even if you alone know of some bad news, be discreet about it; everyone blames him, if he alone becomes the originator of falsehood. |
notes: Lat. parallel: (Dist. II, 7) Quod pudeat, socios prudens celare memento, / ne plures culpent id, quod tibi displicet uni ‘Remember, prudent [as you are], to keep that which makes you ashamed from your associates, so that many will not blame that which displeases you alone’. 1199ˣ is closer to the Lat. text. 624 differs considerably: Ill tíðindi, þau er upp koma,
vættu eigi fyrstr með firum;
vertu þögnmælskr, ef allir þau lasta,
er einn geriz frumkveðill at. Vættu eigi fyrstr með firum ill tíðindi, þau er upp koma; vertu þögnmælskr, ef allir lasta þau, er einn geriz frumkveðill at ‘Do not expect as the first among men bad news which comes up; be discreet, if all blame those [i.e. the news] of which one man is the instigator’. There is an implication of causality between the two helmingar which is lacking in the Lat. distich.
