Everywhere, they say the Way, our doctrine, Is so very like detested folly; But greatness of its own alone explains Why it should be thus held beyond the pale. If it were only orthodox, long since It would have seemed a small and petty thing! I have to keep three treasures well secured: The first, compassion; next, frugality; And third, I say that never would I once Presume that I should be the whole world's chief. Given compassion, I can take courage; Given frugality, I can abound; If I can be the world's most humble man, Then I can be its highest instrument. Bravery today knows no compassion; Abundance is, without frugality, And eminence without humility: This is the death indeed of all our hope. In battle, 'tis compassion wins the day; Defending, tis compassion that is firm: Compassion arms the people God would save! |
