1. Their noble nature meant ere they were born,
They were acclaimed for virtues yet unfurled.

2. And when life's thread for them began to spin,
Amulets blessed their natal night, world-pearled.

3. Cradled, no lullaby could make them sleep
Save odes to generous steeds and warriors bold.

4. Grown, their sapling stirred not but to strains
Of their forefathers' glorious deeds extolled.
