Rules

Richard Wagner, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Act I (tr. Peter Branscombe):
If you wish to measure according to rules
something which does not agree with your rules,
forget your own ways,
and first seek its rules!

Wollt ihr nach Regeln messen,
was nicht nach euren Regeln Lauf,
der eignen Spur vergessen,
sucht davon erst die Regeln auf!
