Reason, in its eternal aspect, is unnameable.
Simplicity though insignificant,
the world not dares to subject [it].
Princes [and] kings if they can keep it,
The ten thousand things are going of themselves to pay homage.
Heaven [and] earth mutually combined,
thereby drop sweet dew.
The people will have none as their commanders,
but of themselves they will be righteous.
[When] at first creating order [it becomes] the nameable.
[When] the nameable also already exists
then in turn one is going to know where to stop.
is the reason why there is no danger.
To illustrate:
Reason's being in the universe
resembles rivers [and] streams [in their relation] to great rivers [and the oceans,
indeed.
