1. Tell the prince you find him troubled by words,
And he took the plains and expanses in his embrace.

2. Your sandal's ransom is a gift of honored fortune.
He listened to blame until he sold what he had given.

3. And if there are people who have no cause,
Except a decree that sufficed them without me a cause,

4. I have a grudge in my heart that kindles it,
That I preceded and you give others the cane.

5. Preserve the means of poetry in you, nothing of it has gone
Except what the lightning bolts went beyond.

6. They go abroad in the countries, so they
Do not cease to cheer up horizons abroad.

7. So do not neglect it, for there is nothing finer on earth than
The rhyme of verses when they encounter pedigree.

8. If you were not just to the truth and do it justice,
We would not after you see people who do justice to literature.
