若以四位分之，上句最優，下句至劣，中二通優劣。若約八句論之，則句句相降；中間二位，各有三句；竝依重輕次列，比之自見。

If divided by four positions, the topmost phrase is the most superior, the bottommost phrase is the most inferior, and the middle two encompass both superior and inferior. If discussed in terms of the eight phrases, then phrase by phrase they descend in sequence; the two middle positions each have three phrases, all arranged in order of heavy and light, which becomes self-evident by comparing them.
