Speak, O young man, if thou be wanted; With compulsion if one ask thee twice or thrice.
Restrain speaking, and diminish it exceedingly; And be like to one that knoweth and holdeth his tongue.
Among elders set not thyself up; And press not (?) much on princes.
Before hail (H) speedeth (?) lightning; And before one that is downcast speedeth favour. Before hail (H) speedeth (?) lightning; And before one that is shamefast favour.
At the appointed time tarry not; Get thee home and do pleasure (?). At table time multiply not words; Even though a thing hath come into thy mind.
