With Eddie Marsh's complete translation on the interleaved blanks, totalling 55 pages of manuscript, completed by him as a scholar at Westminster school, at the age of 13. He is already striving for a casual voice in translation, and sometimes achieves it: "It's a true proverb, which is common among the people, that everyone takes best care of number one. I'll go home and tell my master & I'm afraid that for my sorry news I shall get sorry wages."
