لَا خَيْلَ عِنْدَكَ تُهْدِيهَا وَلَا مَالَ، فَلْيُسْعِدِ النُّطْقُ إِنْ لَمْ تُسْعِدِ الْحَالُ
You have neither horses to give away nor wealth; let your speech be gracious if your circumstances cannot be generous.
The speaker addresses his own self as though it were another person. He conceptually draws out a separate “you” from his own person, and then counsels or reproaches it.
In this form, the extracted counterpart is not necessarily named by a separate noun. The change in address itself accomplishes the extraction. Hence self-address may be more than a stylistic question-and-answer pattern.
