When they take revenge, they make their deed public.
When they take revenge, they proclaim it openly,
And if they bestow favors, they bestow them in secret.
But when they bestow favor, they do so discreetly.

Those seated rise when they approach.
The sedentary arise when they advance,
And awe of them makes those standing sit.
And their awe makes the valiant take a seat.
