1. When you sit down to dine with a ruler,mark well the one who is before you;
2. Stick the knife in your gulletif you have a ravenous appetite.
3. Do not desire his delicacies;it is food that deceives.
4. Do not wear yourself out to gain wealth,cease to be worried about it;
5. When your glance flits to it, it is gone!For assuredly it grows wings,like the eagle that flies toward heaven.
