1. O knight who left the fortress
Lonely after him, though men remain

2. Great is the peril that faces you, vanquishing
Every daring conqueror, and challenging all

3. Thought strives in vain, however far it roams
To match your feats, so nimble and impromptu

4. The people sang when they saw you on the shoulders
Imposing, majestic, and sublime

5. "Let the eminent know who is exalted
Thus, thus and not otherwise... not otherwise"

6. "Honor that gores the stars with its horns
And glory that shakes mountains"
