Translation
|
1 | | Prize the substance you have for two reasons,|
2 | | that you may have the means to bear a heavy loss|
3 | | and that you may aid worthy friends when they are in distress; |
4 | | but for your life in general, cherish your possessions not in excess,|
5 | | but in moderation. (after Norlin 1928)
