32 One who flatters when addressed,
 * Does the proper things,

Acts without expressing doubts,
 * Is beloved of kings.

One, the royal gifts of cash
 * Prudently who flings,

Wearing gifts of garments, he
 * Is beloved of kings.

One who never makes reply
 * That his master stings,

Never boisterously laughs,
 * Is beloved of kings.

One who never hearkens to
 * Queenly whisperings,

In the women's quarters dumb,
 * Is beloved of kings.

One who, even in distress,
 * Never boasts and sings

Of his master's favor, he
 * Is beloved of kings.

One who hates his master's foe,
 * Loves his friend, and brings

Pain or joy to either one,
 * Is beloved of kings.

One who never disagrees,
 * Blames, or pulls the strings

Of intrigue with enemies,
 * Is beloved of kings.
