Lat. parallel (Dist. I, 9): Cum moneas aliquem nec se velit ille moneri, / si tibi sit carus, noli desistere coeptis ‘When you warn somebody even though he does not want to be warned, if he is dear to you, do not desist in what you have begun’. — [1-3]: These ll. are parallelled in Hávm 44 (NK, 24): Veiztu, ef þú vin átt, | þann er þú vel trúir, | oc vill þú af hánom gott geta... ‘You know, if you’ve a friend whom you really trust / and from whom you want nothing but good...’ (Larrington 1996, 20). The reading vildr ‘pleasant, agreeable’ in 1199ˣ may have been influenced by Hávm 124/4 (NK, 37): era sá vinr ǫðrom, | er vilt eitt segir ‘he is no true friend who only says pleasant things’ (Larrington 1996, 31).
