1. For it is the ultimate goal that ambitions
Have failed to hope of attaining it fully

2. No kings of time deserve any rank
In virtue, but above it his steps ascend

3. His intellect, though night of doubts grew dim, dawns
And his shade, though course of calamities erred, is inviolable

4. So if described generosity left at rest
Its rights, Generosity would not be generous
