1. A full moon is he; were his generosity
One day to abound, all he owns be spent,

2. Deeds would perplexed stand at his precedent,
Scarce would requitals match his affability.

3. The moon we see; clouds in places three
O'er his face and right and left present.

4. Blood by his bounty flowed, not by malintent;
Honor he deemed the birds part of his family.

5. Should he lose all his riches yet preserve thereby
Renown that time shall ruin ere its fall.
