1. When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, Thou considerest diligently that which [is] before thee,
2. And thou hast put a knife to thy throat, If thou [art] a man of appetite.
3. Have no desire to his dainties, seeing it [is] lying food.
4. Labour not to make wealth, From thine own understanding cease, Dost thou cause thine eyes to fly upon it? Then it is not.
