Anon Hsv 104VII/3 — sitr ‘is attending’

Fámálugr vera        skyldi fyrða hverr,
        er at samkundum sitr;
manvits vant        verðr þeim, er mart talar;
        hljóðr er hygginn maðr.

Hverr fyrða, er sitr at samkundum, skyldi vera fámálugr; manvits vant verðr þeim, er mart talar; hygginn maðr er hljóðr.

Every man who is attending a feast should be taciturn; good sense is lacking in the one who speaks a lot; a wise man is silent.
