One's merit overflows
Into the love of name;
The love of name
Overflows into authority;
Authority overflows
Into violence in the end.
Schemes and plans originate
In the urgency of terms and
Circumstances; the show
Of wisdom comes from rivalry;
The fuel of strife is produced
From the obstinate maintenance
Of one's own views.
The run of high offices
Should be apportioned
In full accordance with
The approval of all, but
How to implement this set
With no injurious effect?
