1. It suffices him as merit that his knowledge encompasses
The immense, boundless ocean, a measure beyond knowing,

2. The sea of sciences, next to which the swelling
Tides of knowledge are trifling, worthless in truth.

3. When the faculties, in their beauty and motion
Perform their functions well, the credit's the head's.

4. If the noblest are challenged, their rule claimed
By another, the kingdom's still the rightful king's.

5. And all of them are comets guiding to the faith,
So wrong not people's rights, entitled people.
