Giving to all men brings credit and honor
Help and worthiness - and to every outcast
is the estate and substance, that have naught else.
Brand from brand kindles until it's burned,
Spark kindles from spark,
Man becomes wise by speaking to men,
But gets dull, staying dumb.
Riding is joy of the rider
And a speedy journey
and the labor of the horse
Mouth is the chieftain of all speech
mainstay of wisdom, comfort to wise ones,
for every noble earl hope and happiness.
Thorn is most sharp, for every thane
who graps it, it is harmful, exceeding cruel
To every man who rests among them.
