شَريفٌ بِجَدَّيهِ وَضيعٌ بِنَفسِهِ
لَئيمٌ مُحَيّاهُ كَريمُ المُرَكَّبِ
Noble through both his grandfathers, yet base in himself;
Noble through his ancestors, yet ignoble in himself,
Ignoble in countenance, though noble in stock.
Wretched is he who flatters, generous is he who lends his mount.
Sol 5.6
