1. Destiny's path is trod with resolve,
And diligence brings within reach aspired goals.

2. No shame in struggles for the free - rather
Fire refines pure metal and welds bonds tight.

3. When God appoints no mentor of intellect
To guide a man to good, he is doomed.

4. My friend, candor resembles a noble youth -
Why do people shroud truth in the cloak of night?

5. Though the right be evident, one deprived of it
Will long dispute with the virtuous and relent.

6. If fate but granted each wish, it would enrich
The fool and doom the adept to thankless toil.
