text and translation
Ástsamlig ráð mun þú, einkason,
þau er ek hefi í kvæði kent;
fræði þessi láttu fylgja þér
alt til endadags.
Mun þú, einkason, ástsamlig ráð, þau er ek hefi kent í kvæði; láttu fræði þessi fylgja þér alt til endadags.
‘Remember, my only son, the affectionate advice which I have taught in the poem; let this knowledge accompany you to the very last day.’
notes and context
Lat. parallel: (IV, Praefatio cont.) haec praecepta tibi semper retinenda memento: / invenies aliquid † quod te vitare magistro † ‘Always remember that these precepts should be held fast by you; you will find something [text corrupt]’. In content and phrasing this st. is very close to Sól 81. — [1-3]: 1199ˣ’s text has metrical problems: Ástsamlig ráð | kenni ek þér, minn einkason, | þessi er ek kveðit hefi ‘I teach you affectionate advice, my only son, which I have composed’. It is also further from the Lat. than 624. Hallgrímur Scheving has the same ll. 1-2 as 1199ˣ (echoing st. 2/1-2), but er hér kveðið hefi ‘which I have composed/recited here’ for l. 3 to restore the alliteration.
