Question

Q1: Read the passage and answer the following questions.





(I) These few precepts in thy memory

See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue

Nor any unproportioned thought this act.

Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar

Those friends thou hast and their adoption tried

Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel

But do not dull thy palm with entertainment

One each new hatched, unfledged comrade.Beware

Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in,

Bear that the opposed may beware of thee.

Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice,

Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment

Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,

But not expressed in fancy; rich not gaudy;

For the apparel often proclaims the man.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be;

For loan oft loses both itself and friend,

And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
