1. O Lord, perhaps a horse, if I praise it
I have seen it not worth a span from a rope

2. And how many a donkey has assumed, in the morning
The attributes of high merit, and how many a donkey has mounted, in rank

3. Above a horse!
I have seen it not worth a span from a rope

4. And how many a donkey has assumed, in the morning
The attributes of high merit, and how many a donkey has mounted, in rank
