1. O trusted of the state, glorified is He
Who improved your morals and manners

2. O bestower of favors, lord of the dewy
Morning, o you of easy, smooth forgiveness

3. Not from my protected people came he who
I hope will protect me, nor pity

4. So have mercy on a youth not seen as
Negligent, though misfortune is prolonged

5. Today one who rose high, tomorrow will be
Lower in the eye than a clod

6. So make with one who keeps you between wealth
And him a firm, tight bond

7. And acquire praise - if a beetle came with it
It would never knock with him a knock
