1. Hide your face from shedding its water
And keep your tongue from asking people

2. And be stingy with yourself if you are humiliated by the stingy
For asking is worse than bankruptcy

3. So I left off smiling at the laugher when
I did not praise him, fearing a frown

4. How strange are the people of the world in praising him
When he deals in five for six

5. He prevented them from pausing and the words of their adept
There is no harm in you pausing for an hour
