Lat. parallel: (Dist. 28) Parce laudato, nam quem tu saepe laudaris, / una dies, qualis fuerit, ostendit, amicus ‘Praise sparingly; for the one you have often put to the test, one day will show you what a friend he has been’. The advice to be careful about what you say is also given in sts 71 and 128. Skj B and Skald use mss from the second group, as in the present edn, as the basis for the text of this st.
