1. Do not blame those who weep for their youth,
Unless they did not water it with blood.

2. The fault of youth is the excess of its intoxication,
As much as the blessings in it.

3. We do not see it as it should be seen,
Except in old age and senility.

4. Like the sun, its virtues do not appear,
Until the land is shrouded in darkness.

5. And there is many a thing not made clear
By intuition, except with destruction.
