On the ascent of this discourse or its pouring.

And one who congratulates the time from its trials?

The most high, while the envious ones seek him.

And more progressive to the heights, pressing on their heels.

Are stretched towards its branches.

When the comfort of the generous is in their fatigue?

That came, and the frolicking of praise from its pulling?
