1. Your slave, O friend of the most noble state
Is confident in fulfilling a promise from your Excellency

2. And it is unbecoming of you, O most generous of chests, to disappoint him
With other than what he hopes for, and the promise is true

3. And from my rest upon you overflowed unto the world
Seas of abundant gifts compatible

4. So you revived in every place with sweet water
Souls that death had struck down

5. And everyone whom a generous gift inspired to praise you
Became a competitor racing in your eulogy

6. So accept my praise, for I am
A faithful, loyal servant, I do not dissimulate

7. And order for me release for seven months
And two days for which parting had whitened upon me

8. For during them I did not hesitate an hour
After ease with hardship, from that which accords

9. And I increased only in desire for praises
With which my tongue, secretly and openly, speaks

10. And live in everlasting clarity and primacy
For you, good fortune for all time accompanying it
