LXIII.

308 Remember not (too exactly) the antecedents of a man

309 When thou art striving to seek for his hand (help),

310 If he says to thee, "Accept the things (which I have) brought."

311 ... is not one who has no ...

312 Cast not malign looks at him whilst bending down thy face,

313 Whilst turning away thy glance elsewhere.

314 Greet him with kind words in thy mouth, speak and salute him cordially.

315 (If) he approaches thee thy end comes.

316 Make him not to go down to his former (state),

317 On another occasion he can be brought.
