y de camino muy angosto, y a la mano izquierda y a la mano derecha hay grande profundidad y hondura. No es posible salir del camino hacia una parte ni hacia otra sin caer en un profundo abismo. Debes también, señor, guardarte de lo contrario, que no te hagas bravo como bestia fiera de quien todos tengan temor y horror. Sé templado en el rigor, en el exercitar tu potencia, y antes debes quedar atrás en el castigo y en la execución del rigor, que no pasar adelante. Nunca muestres los dientes del todo ni saques las uñas cuanto puedes. Mira, señor, que no te demuestres espantoso y temeroso y áspero o espinoso. Esconde los dientes y las uñas. Junta y regala y congrega, y muéstrate blando y apacible a tus principales y a los mayores de tu reino y de tu corte. Y también te conviene, señor, de regocijar y alegrar a la gente popular, según la calidad y condición de la diversidad y grados que hay en la república; confórmate con las condiciones de cada grado y parcialidad de la gente popular. Tened, señor, solicitud y cuidado de los areitos y danzas y de los aderezos instrumentos que para ellos son menester, porque es exercicio donde los hombres esforzados conciben deseo de las cosas de la milicia y de la guerra. Regocija, señor, y alegra a la gente popular con juegos y pasatiempos
