Story 6
 
 
  Subhan Vail is considered to have had no equal in rhetorics
because he had addressed an assembly during a year and had not
repeated the same word but, when the same meaning happened to occur,
he expressed it in another manner and this is one of the
accomplishments of courtiers and princes.
 
 
        A word if heart-binding and sweet
        Is worthy of belief and of approbation.
        When thou hast once said it do not utter it again
        Because sweets, once partaken of, suffice.
