7. And he will shame you by his meats, Until he have made you bare twice or thrice, And at the last he will laugh you to scorn: Afterward will he see you, and will forsake you, And shake his head at you.
8. Beware that you be not deceived, and brought low in your mirth.
9. If a mighty man invite you, be retiring, And so much the more will he invite you.
10. Press not upon him, lest you be thrust back; And stand not far off, lest you be forgotten.
11. Affect not to speak with him as an equal, And believe not his many words: For with much talk will he try you, And in a smiling manner will search you out.
12. He that keeps not to himself words spoken is unmerciful; And he will not spare to hurt and to bind.
13. Keep them to yourself, and take earnest heed, For you walk in peril of your falling.
