Lord Wen Chang's Tract-Taoist Inspired Dramatic Monologue, Released Into Public Domain
The August Sage recounts,
For the 17 past lives I have been a Scholar Official, I was neither imperious nor inhumane. I saved the distressed, aided the desperate, succored the orphaned and borne insolence with patience.
