1. O my anxious soul, atop a boulder though you recoiled,
Horse against horse, comrades against comrades.

2. Generous is he when the people find ease in his palm,
Free with his hands, impetuous, never one to refuse.

3. Purebred steed whose charge is glorious,
Unbridled in passion, never to be reined.

4. Generous of temper, bountiful his gifts,
Trustworthy guardian, no betrayer of trust.

5. Excellent lad you are in fraught times, they learned
Equal when riders convened with riders.

6. Generous of nature, praised his traits,
Towering edifice though the builder was modest.

7. Refuge of widows and orphans if they are destitute,
Witness to preserves, provider to guest and familiar.

8. Oath of bounty, creed of glory, what gallant
As lion in war, no wavering nor flight.
