You have referred me for my allotted pay to a date so far off
You have deferred my stipend to a date
that Judgment Day seems nearer to the mind.
that seems farther away than the Day of Resurrection.

I cannot tell, now that it has dragged on so long,
So I do not know, the wait for it having grown so long,
whether you referred me to the alms-tax—or to the Last Gathering.
whether you have referred me to the alms-tax or to the Gathering.
