2And when thou hast done all thy office, take thy place, That thou mayest be merry with them, And receive a crown for thy well ordering of the feast.

3Speak, thou that art the elder, for it becometh thee, but with sound judgment; And hinder not music.

— Sirach 35:4 —

5A concert of music in a banquet of wine Is as a signet of carbuncle set in gold.

6As a signet of an emerald set in a work of gold, So is the melody of music with pleasant wine.
