Verse I: Under the Earth Element

The sun is at a zenith to light up equally

The whole lot in all the four directions;

By analogy, it's good using the high noon

To get to be a master of current events.

The sun is at the centre of the sky;—

This highly valued place of a leader

Fits in full the subject of this position.

The moon is on the wax now, growing to fullness.

This is the reason why the new light in the east

Is brighter than it was in the west last night.

The waxing moon grows in its fullness;—

With unmasking of the corrupt officials

The ruler's glory mediately tarnished,

Starting to fade down in view of the people.
