1. The days of youth, stop leading the young astray
So they depart commended and stay praised

2. They turn the souls of the youth away from high ambition
And make them wholly immersed in ignorance

3. You were the era of seriousness, if a young man saw
He would bid farewell to foolishness, and become sensible

4. He who did not gain his share of glory in his youth
Glory will not bow to him again
