Stanza 6 Paraphrased:
The wise are not showy about their wisdom.
They guard it carefully.
They are silent when they come to a stranger's home.
Harm seldom befalls the Watchful.
For you can never have a more faithful friend,
than a good supply of wisdom.
Original Old Norse:
At hyggjandi sinni skyli-t maðr hræsinn vera,
heldr gætinn at geði; þá er horskr ok þögull
kemr heimisgarða til, sjaldan verðr víti vörum,
því at óbrigðra vin fær maðr aldregi
en mannvit mikit.
