"I only need three things to subordinate it: an iron whip, an iron hammer, and a sharp dagger. I will whip it with the iron whip. If it does not submit, I will hammer its head with the iron hammer. If it still does not submit, I will cut its throat with the dagger."

"妾能制之，然須三物，一鐵鞭，二鐵□，三匕首。鐵鞭擊之不服，則以□□其首，又不服，則以匕首斷其喉。"
