6. The learned, virtuous, benevolent, and the usual terms,

A man like me, and never the usual terms.

7. Neither a servant nor a master am I,

I take no sooner a large price than a small price—I will have my own, whoever enjoys me,

I will be even with you, and you shall be even with me.

8. If you stand at work in a shop, I stand as nigh as the nighest in the same shop,

If you bestow gifts on your brother or dearest friend, I demand as good as your brother or dearest friend,

If your lover, husband, wife, is welcome by day or night, I must be personally as welcome,

If you become degraded, criminal, ill, then I become so for your sake,

If you remember your foolish and outlawed deeds, do you think I cannot remember my own foolish and outlawed deeds? plenty of them;

If you carouse at the table, I carouse at the opposite side of the table,

If you meet some stranger in the streets, and love him or her, do I not often meet strangers in the street, and love them?

If you see a good deal remarkable in me, I see just as much, perhaps more, in you.
