Anon Hsv 13VII/3 — mæltu ‘speak’

Ráðhollr ok réttdæmr        ok í reiði stiltr,
        mæltu eigi við ýta ilt;
kostum þú safna,        ok kynn þik við góða menn;
        vinn eigi löst né lygi.

Ráðhollr ok réttdæmr ok stiltr í reiði, mæltu eigi ilt við ýta; safna þú kostum, ok kynn þik við góða menn; vinn eigi löst né lygi.

Loyal in advice and just in judgement and moderate in anger, do not speak evil to men; gather virtues and make friends with good men; cultivate neither vices nor lies.
