1. I see thefts in unbelief and Egypt
Brought you bracelets of walls and anklets

2. Yet not of youth but iron they are
And they have ruled to cut off hand and leg

3. You dragged your tail in foolish vanities
Would that you were averse, delaying absurdly

4. Eager for war, desiring it
Urging on fury while from it you recoil

5. Fate does not refrain from what is willed
By what you gathered of horse and foot
