1. A youth whose generous hand we saw extended
Far, seeking neither thanks nor gain,

2. Light lies his gifts on people's necks bestowed,
But heavy on the thankless falls its weight.

3. The chief, of all the wealth his conquests brought
Naught to his own hands gave he but the rein,

4. Seeking renown, men severally have sought,
Assembled, each is part, and you are whole.

5. The glory tribes and races have attained
Is yours in its entirety, root and branch, the sum.
