Administering the government

 



Reason is always non-action,
and nothing [remains] undone.
Princes [and] kings if they can
keep [it] the ten thousand things
will of themselves reform.
[If] reformed yet may desire to stir.
I will pacify them by the unnameable its simplicity.

The unnameable its simplicity
in turn will [afford] not to desire [to lust].
[There being] no desire, thereby there is rest.
[Then] the world will be self-enraptured.
