The goodness called goodness of speech
Is goodness which nothing can reach.
Since gain or ruin speeches bring
Guard against the slips of tongue.
A speech is speech that holds ears
And attracts ev'n those that are averse.
Weigh thy words and speak; because
No wealth or virtue words surpass.
Speak out thy word so that no word
Can win it and say untoward.
Spotless men speak what is sweet
And grasp in others what is meet.
No foe defies the speaker clear
Flawless, puissant, and free from fear.
The world will quickly carry out
The words of counsellors astute.
They overspeak who do not seek
A few and flawless words to speak.
Who can't express what they have leamt
Are bunch of flowers not fragrant.
