Changing Lines
- Line 1: The footprints run crisscross. If one is seriously intent, no blame.
- Line 2: Yellow light. Supreme good fortune.
- Line 3: In the light of the setting sun, men either beat the pot and sing or sigh deeply. Misfortune.
- Line 4: Its coming is sudden; it flames up, dies down, is thrown away.
- Line 5: Tears in floods, sighing and lamenting. Good fortune.
- Line 6: The king uses him to march forth and chastise. Then it is best to kill the leaders and take captive the followers. No blame.
