The tile is a quote from Alfonso of Aragon and translates:

Quemad viejos leños, leed viejos libros, bebed viejos vinos, tened viejos amigos.

Variant translations: Old wood to burn! Old wine to drink! Old friends to trust! Old authors to read!
Literal translation: Burn old wood, read old books, drink old wines, have old friends.

As quoted in Aire puro para el amor y la amistad Betancourt, Luis Fernando 7a. reim., p. 165
As quoted in Floresta Española de Apothegmas o Sentencias, by Melchior de Santa Cruz (1576), ii. 1. 20.
