1. O you whose mind wields a sharp sword
Finer than the blades of renowned warriors

2. What is the name of this famed trilogy?
A sword sharper than the blades of renowned warriors

3. And whose heart harbors the malady of hearts
Without shame of abominations

4. And when he wields control
Bends all poets to his will

5. And when his gaze is removed
The heart falters, slips, and watches

6. Woe to you! Your raving is but
An empty wind carrying idle chatter

7. After this candid exposition
Of the true intent, close and desist
