"Puji orang bodoh, dan bunuh dia; karena kanvas kesombongannya tersebar; Kulitnya dangkal di dalam air, dan hembusan tiba-tiba akan menenggelamkannya: Pujilah orang yang bijaksana, dan percepat dia dalam perjalanannya; karena dia mengemban pemberat kerendahan hati, Dan senang ketika jalannya disemangati oleh simpati saudara-saudara di darat."
