⁶ Do not claim to be important in the presence of the king
    or vie for a position within the company of great men.
⁷ Truly, it is far sweeter to have someone of influence say to you, “Come up here and join us,”
    than to be ordered to some lower rank in front of a noble.
Just because you think you have seen something
⁸     doesn’t mean you should be quick to go to court,
For what will you do
    when your neighbor disproves the charge and embarrasses you?
