1. My warnings, from whom may live or perhaps my soul,
And from its two sisters, till and maybe,

2. How many they have excused before me for centuries,
Until the two cheekbones have clearly seen,

3. And we have never seen time more treacherous,
Nor more faithful in treachery are its seeds,

4. If it brings fear it will drag safety,
And if it brings safety it will drag fear.
