 if he does not trust the softness of his mounts reins so that he can direct it as and when he wants then the best advice is not to go along with him. going along with him would be a stigma for him and for the king. as for him he would need constant movement that would tire himself and his mount and would go beyond the bounds of good manners chivalry and honor. and perhaps in the process he would not achieve what he wants.
وإن كان لا يثق بلين عنان دابته حتى يصرفه كيف شاء ومتى شاء، فالرأي لا أن لا يسايره. فإن في مسايرته وصمة عليه وعلى الملك. أما عليه، فإنه يحتاج إلى حركة متواترة يتعب بها نفسه ودابته، ويخرج بها عن حد أهل الأدب والمروءة والشرف، ولعله في خلال ذلك أيضا أن لا يبلغ ما يريد.
