Ecclesiasticus 32:7 Context
5A consort of musicke in a banket of wine, is as a signet of Carbuncle set in gold. 6As a signet of an Emeraud set in a worke of gold, so is the melodie of musicke with pleasant wine. 7Speake yong man, if there be need of thee: and yet scarsely when thou art twise asked: 8Let thy speach be short, comprehending much in few words, be as one that knoweth, and yet holdeth his tongue. 9If thou be among great men, make not thy selfe equall with them, and when ancient men are in place, vse not many words.
