1. You punished me more than I deserved,
And oppressed me, relishing my oppression.

2. You thought I wouldn’t seek revenge,
So you were silent when you knew.

3. If only I had a soul that obeyed me,
You would not beat me to the stabbing.

4. My enemies have reveled in their hatred,
Lifting them up and calling them my name.

5. I trusted you with my rights,
Until I saw you take their side against me.

6. If I said what they claim I did,
Then I ate the flesh of madness.

7. So pass on lightly, serious avenger,
This jest that seemed good to you and insult me freely.
