1. How many a complacent one thought he'd never leave
Yet he left, diminishing many of those present

2. And that which you magnified in my exile from you
Though you magnified it, was but a small thing

3. I've seen death overtake those it pursues as enemies
Casting them down while birds take flight from them

4. I must proceed, then return safely
While those feeling secure after me perish

5. I hoped it would bring me back though whoever
Is in my state tomorrow will barely endure

6. Why should I care when time has elapsed
My body weakened and the place abandoned

7. Though I feigned composure about myself
My burning liver still bears hatred for you
