1. O son of the noble ones, their resolves were strengthened
By a glorious house, like the house of God we know it

2. You are the great one whom neither demotion diminishes
His worth, nor high office ennobles him

3. Even if the renowned did his utmost in testing
He would find none but you in the world to befriend

4. The servants of your bounty have no fear of excess
If time ruins aught, you will replace it
