LinesThough glad at home, and merry with guests,A man shall be wary and wise;The sage and shrewd, wide wisdom seeking,Must see that his speech be fair;A fool is he named who nought can say,For such is the way of the witless.

Though glad at home, and merry with guests, A man shall be wary and wise; The sage and shrewd, wide wisdom seeking, Must see that his speech be fair; A fool is he named who nought can say, For such is the way of the witless.
