1. You were true to your word, as loyalty was your way,
You were just, as justice was to reciprocate in kind,

2. You made your promise and saw it through,
You gave your all, more than words can define,

3. Never deceitful nor ever one to betray,
Never failing nor faltering from your promise to uphold,

4. Your affection returned full of delight,
As I had expected from you nothing but cold,

5. Had another been granted what you have attained,
He would have deserted his loved ones absent and aloof,

6. For the wavering soul if affection it regains,
With reunion scatters what affection wove,

7. Why cease to cherish one who if spurned,
Would taint the clear joy my life preserved,

8. Do you see me forsake what love has earned,
While you keep faith with the covenant observed?

9. But to you I yield with willing hand,
Despite any blame or those who reprehend,

10. I care not for those who reprimand,
If to the loyal one loyalty I extend.
