1. I have endured grief in my solitude
And chosen my worries over my ambitions

2. I have spared myself the pleasure
For if I die, I die longing

3. It is not out of ignorance, but
I have mastered desire over my passions

4. I pretended, so I chose a good reputation
And so I did not lack family in my exile

5. And I turned away from the mistakes of men
So people would turn away from my missteps

6. And I tasked myself with obligations
Upon it for others, but I did not help

7. The traits of a free and wise brother
Noble in nature and upbringing
