Psalms of the Brethren CIX:
Translated by Mrs. C. A. F. Rhys Davids (1913) · From Psalms of the Early Buddhists II: Psalms of the Brethren (1913)
Religion
Not yet doth he, though in retreat he dwell,
Con o’er the system by that Blest One (planned)
Who showed compassion for our highest good.
Still are his powers relaxed and uncontrolled,
Like woodland doe all tender grown and weak.
