4. [Against surliness.]

"If there be a man devoid of sociability [_lit._, making himself known],

on whom no word hath power, _sulky_ of countenance to _him who would

soften_ the heart _by being_ gracious to him; he is rude to his mother

and to his people, every one [crieth]: 'Let thy name come forth! thou

art silent with the mouth when spoken to.'"[262]
