1. Your loftiness and elevation
Accept only that in which lies your glory

2. My life, hope has certainly failed
Your precedence won the race long ago

3. O son of the Planner and the dew
And rain which your sky graciously pours down

4. Great is hope, and many a day
In which we rightfully hope for your favor

5. And I miss gaining an evening of drink
When your letter or meeting misses me

6. The song of one hoped for, if
Your song does not delight in a new event

7. And the gift of another, if you
Bestow any favor upon it, is your gift
