2 When you have done everything necessary, recline, so that you can have fun with them, and because of your excellent behavior you will receive a wreath.

3 Speak, you who are older, for it's your privilege. But know what you're talking about, and don't interrupt the music.

5 A musical performance at a wine party is like a ruby seal on a gold ornament.
