A small country few people
let have over ten men hundred men,
men as their officers but not use their power.
Let the people esteem death and not to a distance move.
Though they have ships carriages,
they have no occasion to ride in them.
Though they have armors weapons
they have no occasion to don them.
Let the people return to knotted cords and use them;
delight in their food;
be proud of their clothes;
be content with their dwellings;
rejoice in their customs.
A neighboring country mutually might be in sight,
Cocks dogs their voice mutually might be heard.
The people will reach old age and die,
not mutually they will visit or come and go.
