وَلَكِنَّand yet حُسنَthe goodness of القَولِspeech يُحسنِهُimproves it الفِعلُaction
وَلَكِنَّ حُسنَ القَولِ يُحسنِهُ الفِعلُ
When they mount the pulpits, they speak—and speak well;
When they mount the pulpits, they speak—and speak well;
When they mount the wooden steeds, they say "Do good!"
But fine words are made truly fine by deeds.
But fine speech is made finer by deeds.
But good words are made good by good deeds.
Sol 6.1
