Weapons at best are tools of bad omen, Loathed and avoided by those of the Way. In the usage of men of good breeding, Honor is had at the left; Good omens belong on the left Bad omens belong on the right; And warriors press to the right! When the general stands at the right His lieutenant is placed at the left. So the usage of men of great power Follows that of the funeral rite. Weapons are tools of bad omen, By gentlemen not to be used; But when it cannot be avoided, They use them with calm and restraint. Even in victory's hour These tools are unlovely to see; For those who admire them truly Are men who in murder delight. As for those who delight to do murder, It is certain they never can get From the world what they sought when ambition Urged them to power and rule. A multitude slain!- and their death Is a matter for grief and for tears; The victory after a conflict Is a theme for a funeral rite. |
