“Remember that you must behave as at a banquet. 

Is anything brought round to you? Put out your hand, and take a moderate share. 

Does it pass you? Do not stop it. 

Is it not come yet? Do not yearn in desire towards it, but wait till it reaches you. 

Do this, and you will some time or other be worthy to feast with the gods.”
