Your tribe rises above other tribes in honor.
Your tribes excelled all tribes afore in glory
And one of you surpasses a whole company in glory.
And singly, ye were as hosts in your bravery.

So may fate's decrees forever remain beneath your station,
Fate strove its worst, but your prowess passed over
Fallen low, and may misfortune fail to reach you.
The maxims of prudence and plots of the crafty.
