A base man, shall no longer be called, noble,—Nor, a knave, be named, liberal;

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.

In Context

4And the heart of the hurried, shall take note of knowledge, And the tongue of stammerers, shall make haste to speak plainly.
