The tempest' tells
The greed must negotiate with the need
In one’s thought and must extricate
One’s deeds
From evil influence of a tooth for a
tooth.
To retaliate is not to obliterate.
The one who wronged must repent it
out.
The one who is wronged, must forgive
in full.
Be without hatred; ‘the rarer action is
In virtue, than in vengeance.’
