So do befriend a sincere man; between his jaws you will find
A tongue whose eloquence delights the mind
a tongue with which speech is tamed,
And conversation soothing as a breeze

and conversation like patches of a garden
That stirs the branches when the clouds give rain
when clouds pour rain upon it.
Bestows on all who listen joy and ease
