Woe to you, O land whose king was a servant and whose princes feast in the morning.
Blessed are you, O land whose king is of noble birth and whose princes eat at a proper time-- for strength and not for drunkenness.
If a man is lazy, the rafters sag; if his hands are idle, the house leaks.
A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes life merry, but money is the answer for everything.
Do not revile the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich in your bedroom, because a bird of the air may carry your words, and a bird on the wing may report what you say.
왕은 어리고, 대신들은 이른 아침부터 잔치에 빠져 있는 나라여, 너는 저주를 받을 것이다.
왕은 출신이 고귀하고, 대신들은 취하려고 해서가 아니라, 건강을 지키려고 제때에 먹는 나라여, 너는 복을 받을 것이다.
