1. He is steadfast and resolute in his principles
Whenever he enters into battle, he is a sharp sword

2. Glory shines upon his shoulders
The gleam of the sun dims the clouds

3. A fire of valor—when you greet him with peace
That blaze returns as coolness and peace

4. Give him good news, scented with dew
He reveals the two nights' fortune and darkness

5. Time neighs with the scattering of his opinions
So praise surpasses the breaths of pine trees

6. Events thunder in his sorrows
So events retreat, rebuffed, with a smile

7. And certainty lives in his care
So you find it rising and towering

8. The honor of religion is a pouring cloud
When the expert of war makes the heat zealous

9. Unique of the days in his pride
If you cry out to him, he is ferocious

10. He has not ceased to be high and lofty in animosity
And for whoever takes his side, water and wine

11. O supporter of the state, listen to delights
You have done better in praise and composition

12. Passion led them by the means of censure
To a place high in worth and position
