Mind-the seat of intelligence, understand, is very sensitive
Though works like a double edged weapon, can't bear humiliation
The teacher who lives by mind gets reformed by a mild sedative
Hence light sentence and sure it brings instant reformation,
In the case of merchant, whose avarice for easy wealth
Mark my words, sprouts
from heart-the seat of emotion
He prefers loss to reform, and the penalty
enriches our wealth
Hence beneficial to both, a contribution to state's
promotion.
Well the burglar, who banks upon his physique for living
Resents any harm to
body or hand, and so flogging in public
It saps all his energy and leaves him
unfit even for living
Reform comes automatic-a method used in ancient Republic.
