Cauldron.

The changing lines

The first line:
A cauldron overturned:
gain by expelling what is bad.
Take a concubine to have children.
The third line:
A cauldron's handles removed:
it cannot be moved.
Cooked pheasant uneaten.
Rain now-in the end, fortune.
The fourth line:
A cauldron's feet break.
The duke's sacrificial food pours out.
His person is stained. Misfortune.

cauldron.
The noble one takes the
principal seat
to solidify his commands.

the cauldron that feeds
all people?

halts his anger
and curbs his desires.
