1. A saying as if its uniqueness
Is magic upon the mind of the intelligent

2. It does not repulse the tongue
Nor stray from hearts

3. It has not been coarse in the ugliness of languages
Nor become uncivilized by the strange

4. A sword which has been girded with its like
The bending of a rod upon a rod

5. With this softness is attracted
And with this harshness difficulties are attracted
