1. Enmity has been provoked, and the envious have been enraged,
Yet your taking over command has delighted us.

2. It is the task wherein you have become
A witness over all the workers.

3. Among them is one whom you leave in infamy,
And another whom you leave in good repute,

4. Counsels that have never ceased to be with fine opinion
By which much esteem and great benefit have been gained.

5. When the nobility are stirred by them
They sweep along with determination and distant vision.

6. You see the angels listening to them
When they rouse the cheeks' dimples.
