1. They say to me, "You have surpassed the one by whom
The realization of diligent effort is established

2. And you have not yet alighted art after art and still
When the people fall short above the soarer

3. And you have plunged into the arena of every mystery
And you have kept those in the lead other than the outstripper

4. But virtues have indeed delayed you
That gathered, none knows other than dispersion
