The third Brother.

From the times of Y AU down to the present,
The imperial house hath flourished in all kinds of virtue:
Thou hast turned aside the first from the steps of our ancestors.
Since thou hast overturned all those things,
Wherein their government was happily established,
What wonder that thou thyself art also fallen?
