1. Your generosity, which has always had
A saddled and reined steed,

2. Do not neglect it, for it is an argument
Among the arguments for praise, as you know.

3. The masters of people have a lord
Who is ready for the pilgrimage, being employed.

4. I am surprised that a man of status prevented
What does not profit nor incur loss.

5. Hoarding wealth by giving it away
Harms not, but hoarding status does no good.

6. So whoever sees stinginess in his giving
For face-saving, imaginations can be imagined.

7. These are suspicions about him
Like you, he accepts the likes of them.

8. The generous person has nothing
Of his possessions forbidden except gifts.

9. Everything he spends of his money
Or status, it is gain for him.

10. Hopes have almost collapsed from the prolonged
Disappointment received from you, so they crumble.
