Whoever has received knowledge
and eloquence in speech from God
should not be silent or secretive
but demonstrate it willingly.
When a great good is widely heard of,
then, and only then, does it bloom,
and when that good is praised by man,
it has spread its blossoms.

Qui Deus a duné esciënce
e de parler bone eloquence,

ainz se deit voluntiers mustrer".
