I condemn myself [for the past], and will be on my guard against future calamity. I will have nothing to do with a wasp, To seek for myself its painful sting. At first, indeed, the thing seemed but a wren, But it took wing and became a [large] bird. I am unequal to the many difficulties of the kingdom; And I am placed in the midst of bitter experiences.
