 we see that the king needs the lowly for his amusement just as he needs the brave for his strength and he needs the comedian for his story just as he needs the ascetic for his sermon and he needs the people of frivolity just as he needs the people of seriousness and reason and he needs the melodious flute player just as he needs the skilled scholar.
فإنا قد نرى الملك يحتاج إلى الوضيع للهوه، كما يحتاج إلى الشجاع لبأسه، ويحتاج إلى المضحك لحكايته، كما يحتاج إلى الناسك لعظته، ويحتاج إلى أهل الهزل، كما يحتاج إلى أهل الجد والعقل ويحتاج إلى الزامر المطرب، كما يحتاج إلى العالم المتقن.
