The king said, “Excellent words!” [Mencius] said, “Since your Majesty deems them excellent, why do you not put them into practice?” “I have an infirmity,” said the king; “I am fond of substance.” “Formerly,” replied [Mencius], “duke Lëw was fond of substance. It is said in the Book of Poetry,

‘He stored up [the produce] in the fields and in barns;

He tied up dried meat and grain

In bottomless bags and sacks;

That he might hold [his people] together, and glorify [his tribe].

Then with bows and arrows all ready,

With shields and spears, and axes, large and small,

He commenced his march.’
