Stratagem
If the foe is far too strong for you today,
just save your strength, backtrack very cautiously
that you may still live to fight another day;
go back to the drawing board immediately,
a prudent retreat really matters as much
as a crushing assault carried out quickly;
patience, guile, perfect timing make the difference,
there are no flawless stratagems of attack,
only short-sighted strategies of defense!
