Ah, many a full-length coat of mail has done me a kindness;
O Lord, she loved me with such grace
I repaid it with harm, yet without reproach.
Yet I returned evil, with no trace

It came to shield my life from death,
She kept my soul safe from death's embrace
while I kept offering it to every Indian-steel sword.
While I offered it to any in haste
