22My sonne, heare me, and despise me not, and at the last thou shalt finde as I told thee: in all thy workes bee quicke, so shall there no sickenesse come vnto thee. 23Who so is liberall of his meat, men shall speake well of him, and the report of his good housekeeping will be beleeued. 24But against him that is a niggard of his meate, the whole citie shall murmure; and the testimonies of his niggardnesse shall not be doubted of. 25Shew not thy valiantnesse in wine, for wine hath destroyed many. 26The furnace prooueth the edge by dipping: so doth wine the hearts of the proud by drunkennesse.
