He won’t shout,
    or raise his voice,
        or make it heard in the street.
A crushed reed he will not break,
    and a fading candle[a] he won’t snuff out.[b]

And[d] he won’t grow faint or be crushed
    until he establishes justice on the mainland,
        and the coastlands take ownership of[e] his Law.”
