rǫskvir menn gefa ǫrnum bráð;
upp at eins er ungum vegar;
engi maðr er roskinn þegar.
Falls er ván at fornu tré;
fleira þykkir gótt, en sé;
auðsénna er annars vamm;
engi kømsk of skapadœgr framm. | Jafnan segir inn ríkri ráð; rǫskvir menn gefa ǫrnum bráð; upp at eins er ungum vegar; engi maðr er þegar roskinn. Er ván falls at fornu tré; fleira þykkir gótt, en sé; vamm annars er auðsénna; engi kømsk framm of skapadœgr. The more powerful always offers advice; valiant men give raw meat to eagles; only up is the young man’s path; no person is at once fully grown. There is expectation of a fall from an old tree; more seems good than may be; the blemish of another is more easily seen; no one goes beyond his fated day.
