Of one immersed and unknown.

2. They erected, by the Grace of God, with eyes filled
With nobility and hearts filled with reverence.

And the enemies gained from him even more withdrawal.

4. Was he not like a lion who left his den

18. Unlike the beautiful in matters as beautiful.
If days were equitable, they would not stumble upon him
