Lat. parallel: (Dist. II, 10) Cui scieris non esse parem te, tempore cede: / victorem a victo superari saepe videmus ‘Yield at times to one whom you know not to be your equal; we frequently see the victor conquered by the loser’. This st. occurs first between sts 67 and 68 in 1199ˣ but is placed here in accordance with the order of the disticha. — [1-2]: These ll. are the same as st. 52/4-5. — [4-6]: 401ˣ renders the rest of the st.: sá er vill hæstan tír hafa ‘he who wants to have the highest glory’.
