Anon Hsv 115VII/6 — gera ‘do’

Fljóta raun        skaltu við flest hafa,
        þat er grunsamligt geriz;
leyndir lestir,        þeir er lengi felaz,
        gera mörgum mein.

Skaltu hafa fljóta raun við flest, þat er geriz grunsamligt; leyndir lestir, þeir er lengi felaz, gera mörgum mein.

You must have a quick test for everything that is suspicious; secret vices which have been hidden for a long time do many people harm.
