Shalt fight not in words with fools;
For the man unwise | a worser word
Than he thinks doth utter oft.
[25]. Ill it is | if silent thou art,
A coward born men call thee,
And truth mayhap they tell; [[398]]
Seldom safe is fame,
Unless wide renown be won;
On the day thereafter | send him to death,
Let him pay the price of his lies.
