Mencius resumed,
'Are you led to desire it, because you have not enough of rich and sweet food for your mouth?
Or because you have not enough of light and warm clothing for your body?
Or because you have not enough of beautifully coloured objects to delight your eyes?
Or because you have not voices and tones enough to please your ears?
便使Or because you have not enough of attendants and favourites to stand before you and receive your orders?
Your Majesty's various officers are sufficient to supply you with those things.
?” How can your Majesty be led to entertain such a desire on account of them?'
