And indeed we—through us the worlds shine—
And we and our universe shine

With souls ardent for glory's gain

And even if they forgot that love, we would spill them upon the spears.
Had they but asked, we'd give them spears
We trampled the greatest of the proud lords with our spearheads.
As prey we snared the greatest beasts

So say to those of empty boast

Glory lodges only in our dwellings,
That glory comes to our abodes
like sleep, which has no resting place but the eyes.
As sleep finds home in eyelids' fold
