- Tax Exemption to the People
Because of the bad harvest, the year,
The people suffered famine and wandered,
Ascending the throne, exempting them
From taxes, the ruler pondered.
Who before dared to forge
A new policy and give it a try?
The nobles criticized the decree and scoffed
The sovereign's dusky eye.
