1. Lighten your burden and pay no mind to troubles
That upset you, for days flow on steadily with us.

2. The most hostile foe to mankind is his own soul,
Then his son comes along and destroys what he built.

3. This one commands him to every ugly deed,
While that one calls him to hoard and be cowardly.

4. And foolishness in life is my being portrayed
As ignorant, so by ignorance I fear being fooled.

5. More burdensome than sitting being flattered
By delegates who aim to gain something from me.
