1. Every man praises a man for his generosity,
So if he exaggerates, he intends to insult him.

2. If he did not appreciate the remoteness of the goal
When bestowing gifts, he would not exaggerate his praise.

3. But I do not exaggerate my eulogies
Except to give the one I praise his due.

4. And I would consider it an injustice to intentionally minimize his praise,
And be angry if he were to minimize his gifts.
