1. O most generous of creation, whom no youth
Has ever called upon except that you accepted his request as gain,

2. You extended the palm of hope as a safe harbor,
And your sea of forbearance has never ebbed.

3. My Master, your spring of bounty overflows,
While those besides you are left high and dry.

4. I have cast my plea at the highest of thresholds,
So look upon it with kindness, O best of beholders.
