Tolugt Mod er godt aa hava. Naar du tunge Verk maa gjera Tru du maa, at Retten vinner,
Tidt mot Straumen fær du kava, og fær Vantakk heim aa bera, naar han rette Tidi finner;
um din Rett er nog so god. tak det tolugt og ver god. men han trenger Verja god,
Ymist fær du sjaa og høyra, Fær du vera med i Reidsla og det verder langt aa bida;
som er ilt i Syn og Øyra; og fær inkje godt av Veitsla, mang ein Harm du fyrst maa lida.
tak det alt med tolugt Mod. tak det alt med tolugt Mod. Berre hav eit tolugt Mod.
