Let him make himself a prisoner of Law!

The wind is enthralled by the fragrant rose;

The perfume is confined in the navel of the musk-deer.

The star moves towards its goal 835

With head bowed in surrender to a law.

The grass springs up in obedience to the law of growth:

When it abandons that, it is trodden underfoot.

To burn unceasingly is the law of the tulip,

And so the blood leaps in its veins. 840

Drops of water become a sea by the law of union,
