The words of Seers are lovely sweet
Merciful and free from deceit.
Sweet words from smiling lips dispense
More joys than heart's beneficence.
Calm face, sweet look, kind words from heart,
Such is the gracious virtue's part.
Whose loving words delight each one
The woe of want from them is gone.
To be humble and sweet words speak
No other jewel do wise men seek.
His sins vanish, his virtues grow
Whose fruitful words with sweetness flow.
The fruitful courteous kindly words
Lead to goodness and graceful deeds.
Kind words free from meanness delight
This life on earth and life the next.
Who sees the sweets of sweetness here
To use harsh words how can he dare?
Leaving ripe fruits the raw he eats
Who speaks harsh words when sweet word suits.
