Anon Hsv 65VII/6 — ok ‘and’

Engan þú fyrirlít,        þótt aflvani sé
        eða ljótr ok lágskapaðr;
margr er hygginn,        þótt herviligr sé,
        ok mjök lítit megi.

Fyrirlít þú engan, þótt sé aflvani, eða ljótr ok lágskapaðr; margr er hygginn, þótt sé herviligr, ok megi mjök lítit.

You should not look down on anybody, although he may be deficient in strength or ugly and short; many a one is intelligent, although he may be wretched and is capable of very little.

readings

[6] ok mjök lítit megi: so 624(144), eða ljótr ok lágskapaðr 1199ˣ, maðr þó lítit megi 624(143)

notes

[6]: The last l. in 1199ˣ is a repetition of l. 3 and appears to be the result of scribal error.
