Repeated rows connect law and gold, metal and hands, and mortals and time. Revised passages about religion and art include That's whAt shE sAid, an Indian reference, and a faint plea not to blow up millions.

The opening repetition is secure, but the later argument is still under revision. The surviving Prince, judge and reason references suggest a dispute over authority. The incomplete marginal plea and faint annotations do not establish its full meaning or a historical event.

A typed chant: 'The law rings gold / The law rings gold', 'Time brought mortals / Mortals brought time', revised by hand into 'Religon bLowN up to bLow ouT', 'That's whAt shE sAid', 'of thE INdiAN', and a faint margin plea 'PLEASE doN't / bLOw up thE / MiLLioNs of'.

The repeated lines of law and metal turn into a warning about destruction; several faint margin words stay omitted.
