it is the right of the king if he gets so comfortable with a person that he laughs with him and jokes with him and confides his secrets to him and singles him out from among his family and then a visitor enters upon the king while he is in his state of affluence that he should not raise his eyes to him out of respect and honor reverence and reverence and not be amazed by his amazement. his aim should be to lower his head be silent and move little.
ومن حق الملك، إذا أنس بإنسان حتى يضاحكه ويهازله ويفضي إليه بسره ويخصه دون أهله، ثم دخل على الملك داخل أوزاره زائر، أن لا يرفع إليه طرفه، إعظاما وإكراما، وتبجيلا وتوقيرا، ولا يعجب لعجبه. وليكن غرضه الإطراق والصمت وقلة الحركة.
