Maxim 35
 
 
  Be not astonished when a wise man ceases to speak in company of vile
persons, since the melody of a harp cannot overcome the noise of a
drum and the perfume of ambergris must succumb to the stench of rotten
garlic.
 
 
        A blatant ignoramus proudly lifted his neck
        Because he had overcome a scholar by his impudence.
        Knowest thou not that the Hejazi musical tune
        Succumbs to the roar of the drum of war?
