A COMPILATION OF TRIADS
RESPECTING THOSE GONE AMISS:
- There are three people accursed:
- they who work against the Laws of Nature without concern
- they who know nothing of the Mighty Ones and do not seek to learn
- they who know much and do not share their knowledge with any other.
- Three kinds of evil people:
- the traitor
- the conspirator
- the slanderer.
- Three people hateful to the Mighty Ones and to human kind:
- the liar
- the thief
- the miserly scrooge24
- Three kinds of people worthless to they who are just and honest:
- the drunkard
- the perjurer
- the traitor.
- Three kinds of people without the fear of the Mighty Ones:
- the traitor
- the ravisher
- the miser
- Three chief attributes of a person likely to do wrong:
- an angry countenance
- an arrogant spirit
- an insatiable covetousness
- Three marks of a thief:
- an inquisitive tongue
- a curious eye
- a fearful face
- Three things needful to one who has done wrong:
- to acknowledge their wrong
- to seek to be upright
- to make restitution
- From three people keep yourself:
- the joyless
- the mocker
- the one who laughs at lawless doings.
- Three people easy to do without:
- they who do no benefit to any
- they who bring no joy to any
- they who keep not peace with any.
- Three who are best when they are farthest off:
- the fulsome flatterer
- the contentious slanderer
- the lying tale-bearer.
- Three things which gain daily and seek continually:
- the sea
- a drunkard
- a miser.
- Three rude ones in the world:
- a youngster mocking an old person
- a robust person mocking an invalid
- a wise man mocking a fool
- Three signs of a fop:
- the track of his comb in his hair
- the tract of his teeth in his food
- the track of his stick behind him
