1. I have composed rhymes
That contain lawful magic's wondrous treasures

2. It called out to eloquence its difficult parts
So it was answered readily by eloquence obedient

3. Responded to by those who memorize it
So that reciter and listener are moved

4. And the listener desires the pleasure of hearing it
Out of jealousy, wishing he were created all ears

5. It echoes through the lands, so that both
What is near and what is far can hear it
