4 Speak, you who are greater by birth. For it is fitting for you
5 to speak the first word with careful knowledge. But you should not hinder the music.
6 Where no one is listening, you should not pour out words. And do not choose to be extolled improperly for your wisdom.
7 A gemstone of garnet is set amid an ornament of gold, and a concert of music is set amid a banquet of wine.
8 Just as a signet of emerald is set amid a work of gold, so is a melody of music set amid delightful and moderate wine.
