1. They called but among them there was neither pure nor anyone
Who fears God, so they were just barking dogs

2. And is the corpse of any of their men more venerable
When given respite, except for a slaughtered goat?

3. Better than the unjust tyrant is his nature
Oppression, injustice, a wrongful tyrant who grazes on the slaughtered

4. And they have neither religion nor ritual
So do not be fooled by the hands that carry the rosary

5. And how many elders bid farewell, their whiteness leaving them
Glorifying, and spent the night in their shrouds glorifying

6. If the earth had sense, it would shake for becoming yellow
From them, and no onlooker saw in it a wraith

7. Not a fox and the son of John I seek with it
And if eloquent, still just a howling fox

8. I see the son of Adam living a wondrous life
If he does not end up losing from it, he did not gain

9. So if you can, do nothing but good
Among people, and avoid all that is ugly

10. The kingdom's confusion is what warns the warner
Who did not bake the winds in might nor clear mornings
