1 Paroles du roi Lemuel. Sentences par lesquelles sa mère l’instruisit.

2 Que te dirai-je, mon fils? Que te dirai-je, fils de mes entrailles? Que te dirai-je, mon fils, objet de mes vœux?

3 Ne livre pas ta vigueur aux femmes, Et tes voies à celles qui perdent les rois.

4 Ce n’est point aux rois, Lemuel, Ce n’est point aux rois de boire du vin, Ni aux princes de rechercher des liqueurs fortes,

5 De peur qu’en buvant ils n’oublient la loi, Et ne méconnaissent les droits de tous les malheureux.
