"Sound old rulers, it is said, Left people to themselves, instead Of wanting to teach everything And start the people arguing. With mere instruction in command, So that people understand Less than they know, woe is the land; But happy the land that is ordered so That they understand more than they know. For everyone's good this double key Locks and unlocks equally. If modern man would use it, he Could find old wisdom in his heart And clear his vision enough to see From start to finish and finish to start The circle rounding perfectly."
