1. If I were a neighbor to the sun of the king, my faults
Would not have occurred to the turns of fate in eternity.

2. And my destiny would have been higher than Kaiwan's station,
And my shelter safer than the lioness's den.

3. But I am among a people who did not keep their covenant with me,
Nor did they support me in my stumbling.

4. They who restrain the time of fertility like their dog,
And kindle the fire between the rug and the pillow.
