1. When the governor shuts his door
And turns away those with needs before his veil

2. I think him one of three, and perhaps
I tear away the veil with a thought hitting the mark

3. So I say he has an obvious affliction of the eye
So in allowing people in, his affliction is revealed

4. But if there is no affliction of his tongue, then most likely
It is miserliness, guarding his money from seekers

5. And if it is neither this nor that, then it is suspicion
He stubbornly harbors when shutting his door
