Chapter 26 (respect seniors)  
     
1.
 Do not sit down in the beerhouse,
  
2.
 in order to join one greater than You. 
  
3.
 Be he a youth great through his office,
  
4.
 or be he an elder through birth.
  
5.
 Befriend a man of your own measure, 
  
6.
 The Holy Spirit is helpful from afar.
  
7.
 If You see one greater than You outdoors,
  
8.
 walk behind him respectfully.
  
9.
 Give a hand to an elder sated with beer,
  
10.
 respect him as his children would.
  
11.
 The arm is not hurt by being bared.
  
12.
 The back is not broken by bending it.
  
13.
 A man does not lose by speaking sweetly, 
  
14.
 nor does he gain if his speech is straw.
  
15.
 The pilot who sees from afar,
  
16.
 he will not wreck his boat.
