114. I counsel thee, Lodfafner, To take advice; Thou wilt profit, if thou takest it. In an enchantress’ embrace Thou mayest not sleep, So that in her arms she clasp thee. 115. She will be the cause That thou carest not For _Thing_ or prince’s words; Food thou wilt shun And human joys; Sorrowful wilt thou go to sleep. 116. I counsel thee, Lodfafner, To take advice; Thou wilt profit, it thou takest it. Another’s wife Entice thou never To secret converse. 117. I counsel thee, Lodfafner, To take advice; Thou wilt profit, if thou takest it. By fell or firth If thou have to travel, Provide thee well with food. 118. I counsel thee, Lodfafner, To take advice; Thou wilt profit, if thou takest it. A bad man Let thou never Know thy misfortunes; For from a bad man Thou never wilt obtain A return for thy good will. 119. I saw mortally Wound a man A wicked woman’s words; A false tongue Caused his death, And most unrighteously. 120. I counsel thee, Lodfafner, To take advice; Thou wilt profit, if thou takest it. If thou knowest thou hast a friend, Whom thou well canst trust, Go oft to visit him; For with brushwood overgrown And with high grass Is the way that no one treads. 121. I counsel thee, Lodfafner, To take advice; Thou wilt profit, if thou takest it. A good man attract to thee In pleasant converse, And salutary speech learn, while thou livest. 122. I counsel thee, Lodfafner, To take advice; Thou wilt profit, if thou takest it. With thy friend Be thou never First to quarrel. Care gnaws the heart, If thou to no one canst Thy whole mind disclose. 128. I counsel thee, Lodfafner, To take advice; Thou wilt profit, if thou takest it. Words thou never Shouldst exchange With a witless fool.
