| Thus with the year Seasons return; but not to me returns Day, or the sweet approach of even or morn, Or sight of vernal bloom or summer's rose, Or flocks, or herds, or human face divine; But cloud instead, and ever-during dark Surrounds me; from the cheerful ways of men Cut off, and for the book of knowledge fair Presented with a universal blank Of Nature's works, to me expung'd and raz'd, And wisdom at one entrance quite shut out. |
| ~ John Milton, Paradise Lost. Book iii. Line 40. ~ |

| Chapter 13 : write no falsehoods and acquit debt 01 Do not cheat a man (through) pen on scroll! 02 The god abhors it! 03 Do not bear witness with false words, 04 so as to brush aside a man by your tongue. 05 Do not assess a man who has nothing, 06 and thus falsify your pen. 07 If You find a large debt against a poor man, 08 make it into three parts, 09 forgive two, let one stand. 10 You will find it a path of life. 11 After sleep, when You wake in the morning, 12 You will find it as good news! 13 Better is praise with the love of men, 14 than wealth in the storehouse. 15 Better is bread with a happy heart, 16 than wealth with vexation. |
