Note to Anon Hsv 90VII

[All]: Lat. parallel: (Dist. III, 4) Sermones blandos blaesosque cavere memento: / simplicitas veri fama est, fraus ficta loquendi ‘Remember to watch out for smooth and lisping words; simplicity is the character of the true, deceit that of telling stories’. As in many other instances 1199ˣ conforms better to the requirements of ljóðaháttr. 624 seems to combine several versions of this st., especially l. 3, which includes almost an extra l.: við vel at varaz ‘be wary of tricks’.
