1. He who is naturally inclined to jest,
Will not easily take offense or get distressed.

2. Jests may sometimes chafe another's breast,
Revealing rancor that festered unexpressed.

3. So minimize your jests as best you can,
And only joke with care and caution's plan.

4. Excessive joking you must also ban,
Lest you diminish your worth in others' sight.
