Line 1 comment: Birds fly from famine.
Line 2 comment: Crossing to one's ancestors, meeting one's dead mother. Not reaching as far as one's king: meeting his minister. No fault.
Line 3 comment: Do not cross. Be on guard. Attend to this, or there may be killing. Misfortune.
Line 4 comment: No fault. Do not cross to meet them. Going is dangerous. Absolutely refrain. Do not act: be everlasting and firm.
Line 5 comment: Dense clouds, no rain. At my western outskirts, the duke shoots, takes another in the cave.
