47.80

When one's nature loves harmony and gentleness, / The wise and the foolish draw near in affection; / When the mind hungers for roughness and violence, / Humans and beasts keep distant in wariness. / Externally defying ordinary whips, / Internally submissive to ordinary handling; / Its fame spread for ten thousand generations, / Enduring long through a thousand ages.
