1. Stand still for a moment to learn
And if they are safe then be safe

2. For I have not said out of grief
Hurt us, O night

3. And how can I ascend
The Pleiades without a ladder

4. Will this world be saved
From the gloomy darkness

5. And which of them was not
Unjust or wronged

6. And events must have
A fateful calamity

7. That destroys their enemies
With the Turks and tatars

8. And relaxes you
As if you were not hurt

9. And the turning of fate
Spares no marked hero

10. Who stains the zeal of enemies
With some dreadful blows

11. And how many wounds he inflicted
On the stubborn trunk

12. And you are not of those
Who waver on the road

13. If they covet then be content
And if they are ignorant then be forbearing

14. And let them not approach a young man
For a wedding or to blame

15. And if my slip appeared
Say to my friend, “Forbear”
