Um Talen høyra me Rødor manga
Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk)
Um Talen høyra me Rødor manga, og etter Storleiken skal det ganga: er Folket stort, so er Talen trygg; er Folket smaatt, so er Talen stygg. Og ymse Folk er [no]1 altfor rædde, at dei er havde til Spott og hædde. Dei skulde taka det helder lett; det kjem vel upp, kven som hadde Rett. Her spyrst no minst um kvat mange lika; mot Rett og Sanning maa allting vika. Det gjelder litet um tungt og lett; det gjelder beinast um rangt og rett.
