1. Never too much nor too little
At times upright and at times inclined

2. When the wise guide goes astray
The ignorant lead people away

3. When its pillars weaken or wander
Though slow, it is praiseworthy and sound

4. It has two arms that keep limits
In their silence, it has much to say

5. Its present is health or disdain
Its absent is insipid or beautiful
