1. Have they made you ruler of a feast? Be not lifted up, Be you among them as one of them; Take thought for them, and so sit down.
2. And when you have done all your office, take your place, That you may be gladdened on their account, And receive a crown for your well ordering.
3. Speak, you that are the elder, for it becomes you, but with sound knowledge; And hinder not music.
4. Pour not out talk where there is a performance of music, And display not your wisdom out of season.
5. As a signet of carbuncle in a setting of gold, So is a concert of music in a banquet of wine.
6. As a signet of emerald in a work of gold, So is a strain of music with pleasant wine.
