Anon Hsv 57VII/1 — Gæzku ‘virtues’

Gæzku safna        skal gumna hverr,
        sá er vill hyggindi hafa;
æðri speki        fær maðr aldrigi,
        en hann við syndum sjái.

Hverr gumna, sá er vill hafa hyggindi, skal safna gæzku; maðr fær aldrigi æðri speki, en hann sjái við syndum.

Every man who wants to have wisdom must accumulate virtues; a man never gets more wisdom than [if] he guards himself against sins.
