1. With you my best friend and confidant
To cheer loneliness in the depths of gloom and cover up.

2. He confides to you what darkness conceals,
When dawn's spy appears, he feigns ignorance.

3. He blushed then paled, not out of spite,
But shrank from grandeur as he gained advancement.

4. Prepare for him joy's refuge, and he will leap
Beyond few bosom friends, a surrendered companion.
