At home let a man be cheerful, and towards a guest liberal; of wise conduct he should be, of good memory and ready speech; if much knowledge he desires, he must often talk on good, Fimbulfambi he is called who little has to say: such is the nature of the simple.
Heima glaðr gumi ok við gesti reifr sviðr skal um sik vera minnigr ok málugr ef hann vill margfróðr vera opt skal góðs geta fimbulfambi heitir sá er fátt kann segja þat er ósnotrs aðal
