NINETEENTH MORSEL
PORTION I
callow upstarts
those who dare advise
hindrances to them
callow upstarts
heedless of counsel
unfelled by the mace
uncut by the blade
young and rash
callow upstarts
they shall not avert
except the obvious
PORTION II
To the philosopher
thoughts and writings
are his close friends
he sees to needs
he then dotes on
work and study
To the philosopher
thoughts and writings
are his dear friends
exile?s release
from sycophants
wary of him
