May your kingly hands be terrible in weaving the sword stuff.
May those opposing your sword become meat for the red swan.

Who is the only one that won't betray us?
Who measures all deeds, all speeches

Who does not sow slander about us?
Who coddles us with care?

who wastes effort in vain-
love your own self,
my honorworthy reader.
A worthy object! Nothing
more amiable surely exists. — Alexander Pushkin
