Anon Hsv 63VII/3 — af ‘about’

Ill tíðendi,        þótt þú einn vitir,
        gerz þú þagmælskr af þeim;
allir þann lasta,        ef einn geriz
        flærðar frumkveðill.

Þótt þú einn vitir ill tíðendi, gerz þú þagmælskr af þeim; allir lasta þann, ef einn geriz frumkveðill flærðar.

Even if you alone know of some bad news, be discreet about it; everyone blames him, if he alone becomes the originator of falsehood.
