text and translation
Föður ok móður unn þú fróðhugaðr
jöfnum ástarhug;
hvárkis þeira ræki maðr hylli svá,
at týni annars ást.
Unn þú fróðhugaðr föður ok móður jöfnum ástarhug; maðr ræki hylli hvárkis þeira svá, at týni ást annars.
‘Love, wise-minded, your father and mother with equal affection; a man should not care for the favour of one of them such that he loses the other’s love.’
notes and context
Lat. parallel: (Dist. III, 24) Aequa diligito caros pietate parentes / nec matrem offendas, dum vis bonus esse parenti ‘Love your dear parents with equal filial affection, and do not offend your mother when you want to be good to your father’.
