1. If you pay no heed to the praise of a man
Then be fair and pay no heed to his dispraise

2. Otherwise you have decided that his praise
Pleases you, but does not warrant reward

3. Indeed, an expert in evil for evil in retribution
You do not reward a benefactor with affliction

4. A hand created for disfavor, not favor, power
Tyrannical in its demands upon the weak
