1. Behold, many young men whose faces
Were like stars, now their crescent has set.

2. My hopes sank as their brotherhood ended;
Its shade, which sheltered me, is gone.

3. In joy or in rage, their bitterness I've tasted,
But no taste was as sweet as when we were close.

4. When asking a favor from your master,
Speak courteously; fulfillment will come your way.

5. When serving your master loyally,
In sickness or health, stand by his side.
