1. You are the enemy of something you are ignorant of
So why is it said the friend of a man rebukes him?

2. This, while your rebuke brings him to life and delivers him
From the earth, so the friend of youth slays him

3. Say what you will, you are the speaker of the words
In them is not what deters from what a man does

4. So guard your reason and clarify its ends
For reason is deceptive, its beginnings from its ends
