Sol 5.6

  1. Listen, my son, to my counsel, and act upon it.

    For medicine is bound up in the very words I speak.

  2. Never drink immediately after eating,

    lest you lead yourself by the reins toward harm.

  3. Make your nourishment one meal each day,

    and beware of eating before a meal has been digested.

  4. Preserve your seed as best you can, for it is

    the water of life, poured forth into wombs.
