Better

Paul Elmer More (1864-1937), A Century of Indian Epigrams, Chiefly from the Sanskrit of Bhartrihari (Boston: Houghton, Mifflin and Company, 1899), p. 54 (no. XXXII):
Better, I said, in trackless woods to roam
  With chattering apes or the dumb grazing herds,
Than dwell with fools, though in a prince's home,
  And bear the dropping of their ceaseless words.
