शुभशव्दरसार्थिन्यो मुनेः श्रवणशक्तयः ।
मां योजयन्ति विषमे तृणेच्छा हरिणं यथा ॥ २१ ॥

śubhaśavdarasārthinyo muneḥ śravaṇaśaktayaḥ |
māṃ yojayanti viṣame tṛṇecchā hariṇaṃ yathā || 21 ||

My ears, sir, which ought to take a delight in the hearing of good lectures, are always inclined to listen to talk that are no way profitable to me; but mislead me to wrong; as the grassy turf covering a well, tempts the silly stag to his ruin.
